00:00I'm a huge note taker.
00:01There's all these fancy notebooks in the world.
00:03You don't want those.
00:04You definitely want a spiral notebook,
00:05because one thing that's important
00:07is you can rip pages out frequently.
00:09And you also want it to lie flat and open on the table.
00:12And if you open pages, you want them to be able to lay
00:16like this, whatever.
00:17You definitely want to be able to rip pages out.
00:19I'm a big believer of I take a bunch of notes,
00:22and then I clearly rip them out so I
00:24can look at multiple pages at the same time.
00:26And I can crumple them up and throw them on the floor,
00:29and then I'm done when our house cleaner comes in
00:31on a whatever.
00:33There's just these pile of crumpled papers
00:35that I'm typing my notes in or whatever on the floor.
00:38You definitely want a kind of paper
00:41that is good to write on, which is a feel thing,
00:44but most paper is terrible to write on.
00:47You want a hard front and back to the notepad.
00:51And you also want something that can fit in a pocket.
00:53I was about to say that.
00:54I think the Uniball Micro 0.5 pen is the best pen overall.
01:01But the Muji 0.36 or 0.37 in dark blue ink
01:06is a very nice pen for other reasons.
01:08So those are the two I would use.
01:10But I think this kind of notebook and one of those two
01:13pens is the right answer.
