What do I love about the mini-journal? I can have 4 little field books at the same time. I use them for different things, work and other interests. Now in one place I can keep notes on the things that keep my life moving.

I needed something that could handle four notebooks in one. Daily pages, idea book, sketchbook, and random notes. The new version was the perfect fit for what I needed and I bring it everywhere.

When you split ~200 pages into 3-4 journal inserts, you immediately gain a lot of organization, improvements in finding things if you group intentions by insert, and the excitement that comes from finishing a book and cycling into a new one.

From the time I am up to the time I go to bed my Mini Field Journal is by my side. Jotting down my thoughts, ideas, tasks for my next project or my “honey do” list. It’s size make it convenient to carry in my bag.

    Better Than Expected

    This is my first Lochby product and the quality is better than I expected. The Mini Field Journal holds four Field Notes plus a few other small items. The pen loop is sturdy but still easy to use. This product will last for years to come and I am excited to see the eventual wear on it make it look even better.

    Perfect Portability

    I love this organizer. I work on a farm, am an avid birdwatching, and often find that paper notes gets me more in the moment, and out of my phone. The rigid back makes it easy to take quick notes anywhere, and made it very easy to write my wedding vows on a hike in Shenandoah. Multicam is a nice touch 👌

    Believe the Hype!

    If you want full size organization in a compact design, this Mini Field Journal is for you. Quality design and construction. The Black Multicam in waxed canvas should look great for years to come.

    My current notebook setup

    1. Weatherproof (you know the brand) pocket calendar to keep my schedule

    2. dot grid notebook for journaling and habit tracking

    3. lined notebook for to do lists and note taking

    4. blank notebook for everything else.

    This has definitely kept me on time, on task and more productive.

    Great product from Lochby.

    I ACTUALLY USE IT ‼️

    I have like four maybe five journals. LOCHBY makes another which I ACTUALLY USE. Love everything about it. From quality to convenience. Though I use it 90% of the time for hobby notes, ideas etc., but with a dedicated notebook, I sometimes use it at work.
