The Beauty of Graph Paper
I recently purchased a pack of “County Fair” Field Notes (Maine, of course) because I was finding more and more that not writing something down (e.g., blog post idea, grocery item, research idea) was leading to me forgetting them (this never used to happen, right?). I’ve tried a million different technological solutions to this problem, but there is nothing easier than just having a little notepad with you to jot something down. When the Field Notes arrived I noticed they used graph paper, instead of normal ruled paper. I didn’t really think much of it, but after about 2 weeks of having one of these guys in my back pocket all the time I realized I really liked the graph paper. This led me to buying all graph paper notebooks for my schooling this term and I have to say – I’m really liking the decision. I write particularly small and graph paper works much better with this than ruled paper. I’m also what you would consider “structured” when it comes to taking notes / doing homework and graph paper really feeds this compulsion quite well. For anyone out there who may have some of these same tendencies or has ever used graph paper in the past and thought, “wow, I kinda like this” – definitely give a graph paper notebook a try.
If you have something to say...
LOVE GRAPH PAPER!! All of my school notes were on graph paper (oh the joy of aligned indentations and bullet points!) and I even prefer it for sketching rather than plain paper. There’s something so freeing about not following the lines, but knowing you can if you want to. Now, if only I always had pockets to carry a tiny notebook in…
