What if I do have a notepad but don't come anywhere near going through one every two months?

I write really messy and big and irrelevant stuff. But I choose to write extra stuff just in case I grab something that turns out to be useful.

Do you feel like you are noting things that are important? Have you ever had a thought of, "I should write this down" and then decided it was too hard because your notebook is away in your bag?

what do you think is stopping you from writing more?

As you see - my notebook is small and 200 pages, if you had a bigger notebook it would take longer to go through...
