This Muji notebook is a good option if you’re looking for a versatile pad that you can use for writing, sketching, creating lists, and even drawing out a planner. The dot grid is unique: it’s not quite a grid notebook, and not a line one either, nor completely blank. The dots on a grid make it feel like the pages are not structured, while still containing a pattern that will ensure your handwriting is straight. If you’ve struggled with integrating your handwritten notes with your digital ones, you’ll benefit from the features on the Rocketbook Everlast Fusion.

It comes with an erasable pen, so you can use these pages over and over again. One of the best features of this classic notebook is that it lays flat when it’s open. This one is ideal for keeping journal entries or taking extensive notes. The “leather-like” cover and elastic strap to keep it closed, making it ideal for transporting on a day-to-day basis. There’s also a small folder in the back for storing a few important papers and a ribbon bookmark to easily find which page you’re on.
