I fully get you. It's just that it's a couple more things to carry and worry about getting wet. I'm learning to draw so I try to carry a sketchbook (A5), a pencil and an eraser, but it bulks up my EDC to the point where I need a bag. Then there's the other problem, where when I write something down I remember it, which after awhile convinces me that I don't need to write stuff down.
I could never carry an A5 around. I have both an a5 watercolour and sketchbook on my desk, but for on the go I use an A6 sketchbook if I want to sit longer for sketching as it’s a hardcover, but usually my notebook is my go-to.
And I’ve had a similar convo with myself about writing things down, but if I don’t, I get overwhelmed and forget. And yes, I do remember the important stuff I write down, but I think it’s a good thing, because it stays in the forefront of my mind until I check it off 😀
