Manifesto
Why a pocket notebook?
We love paper. We also know the feeling of reaching for a notebook that’s still on the kitchen table.
Start with what you have.
A few words will keep a conversation within reach. Two pencil strokes can hold the shape of a bird that has already flown. A voice note can catch a sentence at the pace it arrived. A page ought to have room for all three.
Let one page follow another.
An untitled thought can sit beside a shopping list. Turn back for the list a week later and you might find the question you left in the margin. Keeping things in the order they happened leaves room for a surprise.
Keep your paper notebook.
Write in it at the kitchen table. Slip it in your coat when you go out. On the days you leave it behind, there’s still a page in your pocket. What you do with a note afterwards is yours to decide.
