Journaling notebooks for summer

A high quality notebook makes an incredible difference when you’re journaling. Yes, you absolutely can journal on any scrap of paper or cheap composition notebook. Having a high quality journal you enjoy writing in makes you more likely to actually sit down, write, and enjoy the experience.

Bullet journal notebooks are popular for journaling. I personally prefer spiral or coil bound notebooks that lie flat. My Japanese brother-in-law prefers bound notebooks and says spiral notebooks are uncommon in Japan. If you’re not sure which you like better, try a couple of notebook styles to see which you enjoy writing in more.

Double check notebooks to make sure it has the type of page you like – blank, lined, or grid dot Also, double check the listing or physical journal, if you’re shopping in person, to make sure you like the line spacing. Journal notebook line spacing can vary widely. Some lines are very wide, others are narrow.

Consider a notebook with acid free paper. Paper with acid turns brittle and yellow with age, like an old paperback book. If you want to keep your journal to look back on, get a notebook with acid free paper to keep the pages supple and clean looking.
