I've used the large size for years as my personal diary, the paper quality has gotten progressively worse during the years but the overall structure remains very resilient (I've used it everywhere from camping to sailing and it's still in great shape), just don't use anything other than pencils and ballpoint pens on it.
Congratulations on your UA-cam channel! Just wanted to say I find it helpful watching videos about designing our own planners habit trackers etc in a way tailored to our own needs. I started with Moleskineand the dots but learned that another notebook was also very popular. I learned about A: Leuchturm1917 - size B5 as my main planner, size A6 for my pocket book both in graph paper format. When I want to do some long form planning or writing I have a 5mm lined A4 I love this one because the narrow space (5mm) keeps me more mindful of handwriting as I write. A careful attitude leads to more readable script too! [ Leutchturm is the German word for lighthouse actually a Turm is a tower....but never mind] For me, I love B5 because I like having plenty of space. For those newly acquainted with Leuchturm, B5 is a little bigger than XL moleskine. I use the graph paper format because I cannot see the dots and my handwriting wanders up to the line above even when I am careful. The squads allow me to make habit trackers easier to set up ditto with calendars and to do lists if you like those. I look forward to learning from how you do your set up. I admire your ability to use the dots and consistently keep things in line or perhaps online so to speak! By the way your discussion of 'cahier" pronunciation, reminded me of a solution I learned about a few years ago; I discovered a shortcut around the pronunciation dilemma that comes with these notebooks! Google Translate is not bad actually! On the left hand side it has an audio button right next to the microphone (lower left hand corner). You select the language, type in the word and press the sound button. That way you hear the correct pronunciation as often as you need to. If feeling brave I will try recording "Leuchturm" using the microphone and seeing what shows up in print (to check pronunciation). If you didn't know this one already hope it helps....not everyone loves it....and Google translate can have glitches especially when recording.... looking forward to learning more Gaby..
Thank you for the kind words and the nice comment! I will have to look into the Leuchturm notebooks! Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the reminder about the google translate app!

Good advice! Yes they hold up well for sure!

LOVE IT KEEP IT UP
Thanks!
nice one love it
Why do you use only the right side to write and leave left side blank? Whats the benefit?
I will typically write on the left side as well to get the most out of the notebook.
Can you provide the actual measurements. I am in india we dont have them here i would use the sizes to find notebooks for available brands here.
XL = 7.5 X 9.5, Cahier = 3.5 X 5.5, Volant XS = 2.5 X 4, Large = 5 X 8.25. All are in inches.
@@Carsonial Thank you.
Nice
