For the price would like to have a more quality outside band. The stretch has already gone out of the notebook and can literally say I have used it 4-5 times. Paper is really great but can tell the rubber stretch band will not last thru end of notebook :( Really wanted to love this :(
I just ordered my 5th or 6th of this journal. It's given me exactly the kind of experience that I need and like. I use it as a daily planner by using a spread of two pages for each date. Left hand side is my to-do list with the top 3 tasks at work top 3 at home and "if time allows" below. Right hand side is for notes of the day and if I feel like it also a hour-by hour plan. I love the freedom that comes with the dotted grid. I love the ivory paper and the fact that it's smooth and heavy. I don't mind the very small amount of bleed through - it reminds me of all that I've accomplished on previous pages. I also love the semi-flexible cover. It makes the journal feel not as rigid but not flimsy either. Love the bookmarks. A couple of improvements: Please add page numbers a table of contents and a pen clip. If you add red and fuchsia cover options. And then you can add a luxury version with leather binding and gilded edges :-) But whatever you do please always keep making this journal - thank you!
