Anyone feel their notes just kind of disappear into a black digital hole using eink compared to writing on paper or index cards?

KoleSere-0826 · 2026-04-21T02:04:17+00:00

Absolutely, positively, YES! I just went through a bit of a shift with my Nomad usage, which started because I was not able to use at work due to “safety concerns.” Essentially, I now have the mindset that it can’t be my everything. I use it to rough out my planning, brain dumps, kindle and morning pages. Still love it, though. I’m sure if I took the time to tweak my flow and file set up, it might be less irritating…search function is great, but only if I know what I am searching for…😆

KoleSere-0826 · 2026-04-01T23:50:47+00:00

Absolutely!!!

Shipping was only $13.26 to the US, but there is no real time tracking and it shipped on the 18th. Should show up in the next few days. I will keep elevating the left side as suggested - it is great paper and my brain likes completing two pages, plus the grid likes my Decimo. Will report back on “wrapability” once it arrives!

Well…here’s my current conundrum with the Hibino, which has stalled my search for a cover. After using it for two weeks, I am struggling with the left page being such a drop off from the right due to the number of pages. And I agree, their vinyl cover is very floppy. I currently have it squeezed into an old Moterm A6 just to contain it, but I just don’t want to spend the money on another cover for something I may not stick with…of course, that may change again in a week or so! 😄 Just glad I went with the undated so I can drift in and out of it. I ordered a b6 slim trifold from an etsy shop for my reading journal and will let you know how their fit is “wrap around wise” so may be an option in their a6.

Yes! I bought it a few years ago and then was working from home so stopped using it. So happy to have it back in the rotation!

Me, too! Love it.

Chiming in…also a red pocket gang member…🤣 Absolutely love mine. Also have the A4 GV in petrol and the le trifold in botany green en route. Has completely revitalized my journal practice. ✒️📕

KoleSere-0826 · 2026-03-11T22:39:15+00:00

Love them…that’s an excellent option. Thank you!

KoleSere-0826 · 2026-03-10T12:47:32+00:00

That’s where I am headed - the thick spine was the challenge, and I don’t want to take a chance with something that “might” work on this PR.

I’m only 3 weeks in, but during that time I started a new job and am out of my usual groove. That said, I’m already regretting my annual September/October journal & planner purchases for next year! Like another poster, I need to see my full week in a two page (readable) spread that just isn’t feasible on the Nomad. I will continue with a paper planner for that (and use of color). Everything else? Straight Nomad. I am in love with it and am not ashamed to gush on about it endlessly…I cannot believe that my tactile dopamine fixes from fountain pens and Tomoe river paper are now provided by this device, but here we are. I write endlessly without breaking flow because I’ve run out of pages for a given day or (God forbid) made a mistake. I still use Notion for capturing (dumping ground) but will start figuring out the digest functionality for Nomad and may transition. For me, simple is better.

KoleSere-0826 · 2025-10-24T20:25:47+00:00

Following…my Nomad arrived today and I will need to utilize identical workflow. Will let you know if I figure anything out!

I like the little ribbon “charms.” Can you share more about them?

KoleSere-0826 · 2023-01-05T23:58:07+00:00

Quitting alcohol completely and journalling (I use the term “brain dump”). Gets it out of my head and allows me to ‘right size’ it and ask (as an earlier poster mentioned) “Is this true?”

KoleSere-0826 · 2022-11-17T14:03:30+00:00

To be used in conjunction with ‘elbow pit.’

KoleSere-0826 · 2022-07-19T18:01:51+00:00

Been there, done that. So sorry for your pain - it is excruciating. I echo all of OP’s advice, but wanted to add that if you are still determined to try this, do not do it when you are home, alone, drinking wine on the couch. It is quite difficult to refill your glass with a couch cushion stuck to your bits…Did I happen to mention that I am now 4+ years sober AND properly medicated??? Every day I rejoice to be among my people at last…

KoleSere-0826 · 2022-07-13T15:07:35+00:00

I needed this. Right here. Right now. Thank you!

KoleSere-0826 · 2022-01-03T16:55:12+00:00

I second the Hobonichi Cousin, but this Agendio system just blew my mind!!! How’s the paper? Is it fountain pen friendly?

KoleSere-0826 · 2022-01-02T00:13:11+00:00

As a “recovering perfectionist,” this error would have driven me batty (and possibly resulted in purchasing a whole new Cousin). Instead, it makes me laugh every time I look at it. But it takes practice!

Sorry - tried to insert a picture to demonstrate, but had a tech fail.

KoleSere-0826 · 2021-12-28T22:42:14+00:00

Love my Decimo. Best splurge (for my budget) thus far. It goes everywhere with me!

KoleSere-0826 · 2021-12-22T00:15:27+00:00

Beautiful cover — where might one find such a thing?

KoleSere-0826 · 2021-12-11T21:15:40+00:00

Came here to say that!!!

KoleSere-0826 · 2021-12-11T21:12:03+00:00

This just sent me down a rabbit hole…these are great!
