I’m a few days in with my bullet journal and it’s going ok but the hardest part for me has been finding the right notebook. I’m really picky about pen and paper so I’ve been trying out different setups. I’ve settled on the Rhodia A5, soft notebook.

It ticked a lot of boxes for me.

• Lays flat when writing
• Nice feeling texture
• Paper is exactly as thick as I like it
• Elastic to keep it closed

The only downside from a bullet journal perspective is that the pages aren’t numbered, so you’ll need to do it yourself.

Here’s the pen I’m using. Pentel Energel 07.

Here’s the link to the exact notebook.
