5 Good Journals ✎

Ask any creative person in any industry or field, what the first thing they grab for when inspiration hits - their journal. A notebook that is as trusted as their inner conscience can record thoughts, ideas, visual imagery and plan of actions. In these modern times where we are too reliant on digital apps to try and make everything more simplified, nothing truly beats your thoughts on print. Carry a small or lightweight journal in your everyday tote or always have one ready to go on your work desk.  

A journal is the creative person's real best friend. You can't say that about your personal computer or tech gadget. They're just not capable of being there for you mentally and emotionally the way a journal can be. When you write something down or sketch it on paper, it's honest, instinctive and trusting. That's why it's important to be picky about your writing utensils as well as notebook, journal of choice.
