Why Teachers Love It
Real Success from Real Educators
Teachers, administrators, and school staff juggle countless tasks. See how educators use LOCHBY to stay organized, focused, and prepared.
How a School Administrator Transformed His Workflow
— Michael P.“In my job as a school administrator, I have tried all sorts of digital tools and analog journals to manage my daily tasks yet still allow me to respond to the “Tyranny of the Urgent” without having to scrap the whole system each time something interrupts my routine (which is constantly). Lochby is an elegant solution for me because it allows me to carry my daily task list notebook, an ongoing discipline-record book, a free-form journal, various high-use documents, plus business cards, hall passes, and a variety of pens and pencils in a single, practical, convenient package.”
A Special Education Teacher’s Everyday Carry
— Katie“It's my everyday carry at school, as a special ed teacher I am in several classrooms a day and need to travel all over the building. It holds up to being thrown in and out of my backpack all day. I use it for notes on students, meetings, and professional development. I like the compact size and that I never have to look for a pen, since it's in the handy pocket. I like it so much that I have a few different products I'm thinking about for my next! ”
How a School Supervisor Stays Organized on the Move
— Tony C.“I am supervisor over custodial/maintenance for 21 schools and am constantly moving between campuses in all kinds of weather and this has helped me keep organized and keep ideas and notes on multiple projects. Great quality and see that this will last me many years. Quit reading and start ordering.”

Joe S.This field journal takes me back to the days in middle school when I had one of those Five-Star zippered binders. All of my supplies ready to be used--all in one place. This journal checks all of the boxes for me. The cord system is sturdy and it doesn't feel like they will ever snap or come untied. The honeycomb color with the brown waxed-canvas is a killer combination. I appreciate the two pockets to store student work or readings I print out to help with my lesson planning.
Coty B.Use this as a planner and a lesson plan journal at work. Works great. Genuinely the best thing in my edc.
Jeremiah E.I’m a yoga teacher and bootcamp instructor and I needed a place to keep all of my class notes in one spot. Thanks to the separate refills, I have a notebook for each class type, which makes my organization 100% better! I love how the field journal has space to hold a pen, business cards, and other small things I might need like my kindle! This is definitely something I’d purchase again.
Jason N.Being an architect, artist, and high school teacher (I teach CAD and Architecture), I am excited to be bringing my field journal into the classroom and showing the many uses of it to my students. I am a huge fan of using my Lochby field journal, paper, and Quattro. I find myself taking my field journal everywhere and have been using it for such things as brainstorming and art journaling.
Jack N.This is the 2nd one I’ve bought, to give to my son. Mine is just incredibly handy to use and carry, and the quality if top notch. I use it for quick thoughts, to-do’s, quotes to use in my teaching, etc. Keep ‘em coming!
