my study week #3 featuring a moleskine cahier

So, my third instalment in this new feature and this time, my Moleskine cahier is on show. It was purchased from TK Maxx back in 2014 where a pack of two was around £4.99 and it is the largest size cahier they do. I can't seem to find the twin-pack online anymore as they only seem to come in three-packs now.


On the inside cover, there are various post-it notes. The top one on the right shows the colour codes used for each topic so that I write my random notes in the right section and in the right colour.


Each page is dedicated to a specialty and the notes are derived from practice questions I've done or random things I've read online. Within each section, there are subheadings which are also written in the colour code seen above. I've divided a line down the middle of each page because I find the size a bit too large for me to write horizontally continuously an still keep things neat.


The Moleskine quality still isn't great and doesn't seem to have improved much and the only pens that seem to do well on it are biros, my Pilot Juice gel pens and pencil. However, they were the perfect size (and price) for what I needed at the time (not quite A4 but larger than A5) and the narrow rule is something I have an affinity for when it comes to paper.

  1. Every time I see your handwriting I get such handwriting envy! :P It's just so consistent and perfect!
    I used to have these notepads in black...however they had plain paper and so I mainly used it for mindmapping ;)

    1. Thank you for your lovely comment :-) my handwriting isn't always this neat - there'll be proof of this in due course! A plain paper version of these notebooks sound ideal for mind mapping! Once I get through my current notebook stash, that (or something similar) might end up on my wishlist! x
