This notebook is from the same brand as the first one on our top ten list, but this one has 180 pages. Both notebooks, however, come with an app that lets you scan and organize your handwritten notes.

TOPS FocusNotes Note Taking System 1-Subject Notebook, 11 x 9 Inches, White, 100 Sheets (90223) – Black

We think this is an interesting notebook, because its layout is based on the Cornell system. You work with three steps in this notebook: you start with date and purpose and then write down your notes on the right. After that you can fill in the cue column on the left and write a summary at the bottom.

Pendaflex Tops Innovative Steno Project Ruled Notebook (TOPS), 90222, White

As with the fifth notebook on this top ten list, the pages of this notebook are also divided into three sections. By organizing your thoughts before starting to write, you are rearranging your brain which makes it easier to remember information.
