Which notebook is best for a diary?

Hvilken notesbog er bedst til dagbog

Hvis du går med tankerne om at starte en dagbog, har du måske også overvejet: Hvilken notesbog er bedst til en dagbog?

Short answer: The best notebook for a diary is the one you actually want to use. However, there are a few choices that make it much easier to get off to a good start.

In this guide, you get a clear overview so you can choose a notebook that actually gets used.

HVAD GØR EN NOTESBOG GOD TIL DAGBOG

A good notebook for a diary should be:

  • rart at skrive i
  • easy to use in everyday life
  • something you feel like opening again

Formålet er at finde den notesbog, der taler til dig. For hvis du ikke finder glæde ved at bruge den, bliver den heller ikke brugt.

See our selection of Notebooks and journals.

SKAL DU VÆLGE LINJERET, DOT GRID, TERN ELLER BLANK

Det er en af de vigtigste beslutninger. For hvis du vælger den forkerte, står du med en notesbog, du ikke får glæde af.

Lined notebook:

  • good for a classic diary
  • easy to write long texts in

See our selection of lined notebooks.

Dot grid:

  • God hvis du vil kombinere skrivning og struktur
  • Fleksibel til både tekst og lister

See our selection of Dot grid notebooks.

Third (squared):

  • God hvis du kan lide faste rammer
  • suited for structure, lists and small systems

See our selection of squared notebooks.

Blank pages

  • God hvis du vil tegne eller arbejde kreativt
  • Giver frihed, men mindre struktur

See our selection of notebooks with blank pages.

HVILKEN STØRRELSE SKAL DU VÆLGE

Size is very important as to whether you actually use it.

Small notebook:

  • easy to deal with
  • good for short notes

Se vores udvalg af A6-notesbøger, 9×14 cm-notesbøger and 12×12 cm-notesbøger.

Medium size, like A5:

  • good balance between space and size
  • easy to use in everyday life

Se vores udvalg af A5-notesbøger.

Large notebook, such as B5:

  • God hvis du skriver meget
  • give more space on each side
  • less practical to carry around

Se vores udvalg af B5-notesbøger.

HVAD MED PAPIR OG KVALITET

Paper matters more than you think.

Hvis papiret er for tyndt, kan blækket gå igennem. Det kan gøre oplevelsen frustrerende og tage lysten fra dig.

  • would like to make lists or small systems

  • likes a structured environment
  • I would like more structure on the page
  • use your diary for lists, an overview or small systems

  • not want to be bound by lines
