Quiz
What kind of notebook are you?
A short quiz about how you actually keep thoughts — not how you wish you did.
A thought arrives on the walk home. You…
Voice-note it, badly, into your pocket
Repeat it until you can write it down
Trust that if it matters it will return
Open the notes app before the thought finishes

A stack of receipts and torn envelopes
Three apps and a paper book, none complete
One cheap composition book, dated
When a sentence is almost right, you…
Leave it overnight
Polish it until it shines and dies
Ask a friend if it sounds like you
Cut it
