National Notebook Day 2025

    Leather Bound Notebook
I have a friend who is a prodigious taker of notes.

She maintains large leather bound notebooks full of her various observations and comparative readings of indicators during her many projects.

For this reason, I have bestowed several fine notebooks upon her on occasion.

Somehow the plain paper and wire bound notebooks seem woefully insufficient.

Today is National Notebook Day.

Held under the auspices of a stationery company called May Design since 2016 it is observed on the third Thursday of May, and this year making it May 15 this year.

The day would have people record their thoughts, events, and information in a notebook.

Those of us who do a lot of thinking and project oriented works should be equipped with a notebook or journal so total recall is less problematic.

I take a lot of notes myself. However, being the child of the information age I am I use a desktop program called Notepad++ instead of a leather bound paper notebook.

In fact, people who call the notebook computer itself a "laptop" only make public their ignorance of technology — as well as the fact that they haven't been around sufficiently long enough to know better.

Be all this as it may I hope you'll take a moment to procure the notebook of your choice and use it when you need to record data for future retrieval.
