My 20-ring binder hasn’t seen use since early August of 2025. I have been using a Traveler’s Notebook (TN) daily for the last few months, and that’s a shame because I tend to use it more like a to-do list and planner, while any longform free writing becomes infrequent due to unfounded concerns about archiving meaningless crap alongside valuable ideas. For me, a bound insert makes me feel less free than loose sheets of paper, which I can compost moments later with the morning coffee grounds and move on with my day.
