Blog Notebook

I need to start bringing a notebook - a real notebook - to the office. I find it incredibly awkward to open a window to start typing out a blog post, even if it's an unassuming program like Notepad. My job doesn't involve a lot of typing aside from emails and Teams so even if it doesn't look like I'm blogging or doing things aside from work, I'm very self-aware.

If I were to carry a notebook with me, I could grab it when I leave my desk to eat lunch and start writing. Afterward, at home, I could simply type it up (I could try scanning it, but Samsung doesn't recognize my handwriting very well). Alternatively I guess I could use my iPad and Apple Pencil, but nothing beats pen (or pencil) on paper.

I have many notebooks at home, but when I picture this theoretical notebook I see those little fat coil notebooks. Actually, they really are called "Fat Lil' Notebook".

Common sense tells me I should use one of the many notebooks I already own, but where's the fun in that?
