Love these notebooks! Perfect size, and I use them for lists, doodles, and general journaling. I prefer the lined version to the gridded version (even for bullet journaling) because I am a lefty and things smudge/slant anyway. The lines are a very very faint light gray, so they aren't obnoxious, I just think they are more visually appealing. I like the bookmark feature and the strap to keep it closed. The hardcover protects it and makes the notebook look sleek and professional. I use one for work and one for general life, and put laptop stickers on them in order to differentiate.
