From time to time I’d love to highlight some products that I love. I use several products in a given day, but a few stand out above the rest. This is one of those products. (Read those last two lines twice. Once as a Steve Jobs keynote, and again as the opening to Law and Order.)
Field Notes
My first experience with Field Notes was courtesy of a Gowalla giveaway. At first I thought I had no need for a pocket-sized notepad, especially since I almost always have my phone with me. After deciding to carry a Field Note pad around for a week, I quickly realized that this might be a new staple in my back left pocket.
About the Company
Inspired by the vanishing subgenre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list, the Draplin Design Company, Portland, Oregon in conjunction with Coudal Partners of Chicago, Illinois bring you “FIELD NOTES” in hopes of offering, “An honest memo book, worth fillin’ up with GOOD INFORMATION.”
How I Use It
I have mainly used mine for idea mapping, lists, sketches and as a second brain for short term memory. They come in a variety of colors and paper styles (my latest order was three cardboard cover with blank paper.) You also get a couple of fun surprises with every oder!
