    Pocket Journals are Perfect

    To-dos, journal entries, ideas, story ideas, this journal can do it all. It also takes fountain pens like a champ. I'm a repeat customer of these and just ordered the full size. Can't wait to try those.

    Bought 3 to have available!!

    This purchase means I now have lined, dotted, and this plain sheet notebooks for my mini field notebook. I also purchased a planner notebook so I do have the whole line!!

    Each has their purpose and I have one of each with me at all time, ready to capture ideas in words, in sketches, in precision sketches..... and any meeting commitments I make while I am out and about.

    I am using apps less and pens more, and Lochby is helping me organize in a very portable way....

    Love hearing this! It’s awesome that you’ve collected the whole lineup and are using each one for a different purpose. We definitely designed them to complement each other just like that. We’re also totally with you on going analog: there’s something so satisfying about jotting things down by hand. Thanks for sharing how you’re using them out and about!
