Oxford FocusNotes Writing Pad, 8-1/2" x 11-3/4", 50 Sheets (77103)

I must doodle to focus. It's how I'm wired. Regular notepads usually lead to me doodling in and around my notes and making a mess of the page. This notepad saved my life at work. I bought a cute portfolio to keep it in too. Pros: college ruled, doesn't bleed through (I use Pilot V5 or Energel pens). Space for organizing thoughts, doodling, and jotting extra notes that come to mind during meetings. (Nothing worse than remembering something not relevant to the meeting and having to find it later amongst your notes) Note: the paper feels flimsy and cheap but the quality is there. Cons: Because the paper is thin, the edges of the notepad have "fluffed" like they were exposed to moisture and dried but that's not the case. Overall - Give it a try. You won't regret it.

Updated: As you can see in the picture, my first pad arrived bent. However, I loved using this pad to take notes with patients so I ordered more. Having different sections has been helpful to stay organized. I have ordered these pads three times and the rest were in good condition. The paper looks too thin at first, but it's nice to write on and didn't bleed with my 0.5mm gel pen. Definitely try it.

Who knew?! A great format for note taking. Sections for Header, Date, Notes, running highlights and summary. Brilliant! Similar to the Cornell version

Overall, very sturdy, and a useful tool for daily "TO-DOs". The thickness of the pages is thinner than most. Using markers or runny ink pens may cause page leakage based on what I see. The pre-printed lines and design are light gray (not dark ink). It's not a huge problem, but it may look a bit faded to some. It will make a great gift. Overall price is higher than I would rather pay. Overall rating - "B"

Great product, great seller ... Highly recommend !!

I purchased this and a simple portfolio for job interviews and the combo is awesome. You look professional and the note taking paper is really good for keeping track of questions while writing notes (I write my questions on the side). I honestly want a whole notebook full of this so I can take notes for class. Definitely worth the price!

Not the best quality paper or print. Returned.

Either the printer ink is running low for this batch or they printed a picture of a picture. The page lines and words were blurry and light. That being said, it is still absolutely able to be used. Just be aware that if you want crisp lines, this may not be the product for you.

The paper is quite thin so it's good the pages aren't marked on both sides. The lines are a little too far apart, so you end up fitting less information than on the same sized lined sheet of paper. A great time saver when using the Cornell note taking method.

Entrega dentro do prazo. Produto muito bom, ótimo para anotar as tarefas do dia a dia, pra se organizar. Material mt bom, vem com tipo uma prancheta em baixo, que permite vc anotar em qualquer lugar, pq dá apoio para escrever. Vou comprar mais alguns com certeza!

Great sheet does what it says but the paper itself is not great quality

Es muy buena para enfocarse en datos relevantes (en consulta por ejemplo), poniendo que es lo que se investigara, conclusión y palabras claves.

Best note pad design for taking notes for action!
