I use it to take notes for my online lectures. It feels comfortable in my hands as opposed to a notebook cover with cardboard. The tassle bookmark is really cool too.
I like to use graph paper notebooks for my weekly calendars and I could only find them in the 5x7-ish size before. This 8.5x11 size is exactly what I wanted!
I’m really happy with this purchase: the cover feels great to the touch and the elastic band makes it perfect for stuffing into my messenger bag while protecting the sheets from getting crumpled. the journal is narrow ruled no margins except the top. The cover is also stiff yet has flexibility. For me the sense of touch is important for some things like daily planners and journals but uncomplicated yet functional features are also important. This wins on my list.
