I used to be a big Moleskine user, but I don’t like the product since they started making them in China. I wanted an alternative and started trying other notebooks. I have mentioned before that I started using Field Notes. I am a fan of old time notebooks and I just like the style of these. But I think I may have found my favorite Field Notes ever. It’s their latest edition, entitled “Ambition”.
There are three notebooks. They all have gilding on the title and edges. The first is a ledger. This is perfect for tracking spending.
The second is a weekly planner. This year, I’d purchased a planner from Word, but found I really didn’t use it. I track most of my appointments on my iPhone, but I like to have a paper version too.
The last notebook is a grid style. I use these for reference items. I like to use the plain Field Notes grid notebooks for things I don’t want to keep. I have been tracking things like grocery prices, phone numbers for things we pick up on Craigslist, just any general things that I won’t need to refer to again. I have been carrying four Field Notebooks and that will probably continue this year. I am planning to buy at least two more sets of these. It took them several years to come up with another ledger notebook. I want enough of these to get through the next dry spell.
