I always loved the look of notebooks in pen and paper ads. Neat text here, nice drawing there… however, does anybody actually take notes like this? My notes always look like trash, and back in school it was the same for everyone.

It almost looks like if you want to take notes this way you have to plan ahead to be sure to have space?

My notes look kinda like that. My drawing and hand-writing is not stellar, but hey, at least I can read it myself.

Not sure why you feel the need to plan ahead…? Just write and draw :)

I once had a fellow physics student show me his notes about some topic. It look like good himself dictated the formulas and placements. My and most of my friends notes like complete trash. But there are some weird people that really can take exceptional notes.
Does your living room look like the advertisement photos at Restoration Hardware, Pottery Barn, or any other furniture store? I’m guessing not. This stuff is staged. Like notebooks advertisements.
