Note taking with Ease on a Rocketbook Everlast Reusable Notebook
Using a notebook to journal
If you are you would be like me and have tons of note books of different sizes to record different notes on. Being an avid writer I have notebooks to record different things. I record milestones for each kids, ideas that I have, topics that I am researching on and recipes which I am interested to try out on a later date. Notebooks would pile up in my cupboard after use. Filled with memories/notes they are too precious to discard and I’m fast running out of storage space for them. There has to be a better option to getting new physical note books.
The Contents of the Rocketbook Everlast Package
The kind people from Rocketbook notice this storage issue that I had and they sent down a set of their Everlast Rocketbook via DHL for me to try out. Now I don’t need to worry about not having space in the cupboard to store yet another notebook. Yeah me!!
The package came with the following items
- The Everlast Notebook where one can write 30+ pages of notes.
- A microfibre cloth which one only has to wet and the notes that you have written can be effortlessly wiped off and the page reused. (Do note to ensure that the page is completely dry before writing on it or – else you may damage the surface in the long run)
- A Pilot FriXion pen for use with the notebook.

You can also pre-set which folders to drop off different which set of notes by choosing the icons at the bottom of each page before you scan in the page using the App which can be downloaded from Google Play/ Apple App Store.

Road Testing the Everlast
Initially I gave the Everlast to Monkey Boy to test out. I thought that it would be most appropriate for him to try out since he is studying 10 subjects in Secondary school and there is need to take lots of notes on a daily basis. He had fun road testing it at home and gave me his opinion on it.
In his words he mentioned that it was a nifty tool for writing notes and there is no hassle in re-organising what was written however it would be a useless item in school. It would be impossible to do any scanning via the app as they are banned from using mobile devices in class during curriculum time. He also found having to manually scan each page quite cumbersome. He suggested that the developers of the notebook look into how to upgrade it into a self scanning device where one only needs to press a button on the page for the content to be automatically upload to the cloud storage. That would certainly be a nifty function if it existed.
The scanned note I wrote
I did my own testing of the Everlast and enjoyed how easy it was to convert the notes written into PDF and stored virtually. One just need to ensure that there is ample storage in the cloud to store all the digital notes and a good WI-FI connection to upload the scanned pictures.
The Rocketbook Everlast retails for USD $34 and you can more information on it from their website.
