My brain refuses to hear this as anything but "Psychic Notepad"

I love Adina's little tippity-tapping on the keyboard 😂

I’ve been using the sidekick notebook for a month. It’s genuinely awesome. I like having it in front of my keyboard and it’s replaced post-it notes for quick thoughts. The way the cover folds is great because it sits flat but it’s still protected for travel. I regularly work in two locations.

I tend to use the same page a couple days. Still figuring out how to best use the layout but love the construction and the feel of the paper.

Yeah, $32 is a lot. So is $25 for the cortex notebook. Paying for shipping is also frustrating, especially if you only want one notebook.

Just remember these are small batch products. Ethically produced in western factories, and fulfilled by small distributors. Hopefully they can scale and reduce prices or rates in the future.

But they are great freaking notebooks. Myke’s love of paper and pen show through in the little details as well as the gestalt of this product.

It’s not for everyone, but if you are considering it and it’s in your range, I say give it a try. It’s fallen nicely into my workflow. I just need the discipline to update my regular notebook and let go of the sidekick notes at the end of the day.

More than $60 to get one in the Netherlands due to tax and shipping... I'm afraid I think >$1 per page is too much for me at this point of life. Love the design though! Great work.

This is not only the first time I’ve ever actually sat through a three minute ad, but also the first time an ad convinced me to buy something I didn’t know I needed

It's so interesting to have a first-person view of a left-handed writer!

"Hand-assembled in London." - and yet shipping to the UK is ~$20?

In addition to using this for work, of course, looking forward to having one open while running D&D sessions.

[MihaRekar]

Why is shipping to EU $24 when it's "made and assembled by hand in London"? I'd love to buy it but with shipping and import duties from US it'll be ~70€ and that's a bit too much 😔

Hey guys
You really made a cool product. But you really should think about about the shipping costs. That‘s the reason I didn‘t bought it. And if I read correctly I‘m not the only one.
As you said: it‘s not made to be precious. But with $1 per page thats just not true…

[JackGladstoneHolroyde]

I was so down, dropped everything got it in basket, got to filling in my address and it ended up costing $52.90 with shipping and VAT.
To the UK. Where it's made.
Sorry Myke and Grey, no can do. Can you work out a local supplier?

[KaosA]

Excited to hear every excruciating problem on cortex!

1:13 I’m not trapped in there with him, he’s trapped in there with me

[thomaslilly]

It's funny that there are only left-handed people in this video. Gives this special "British" touch I guess 😂

[AlestroBakai]

So... Quick question. Hand assembled in the UK... But if I want to ship it to the UK, it'll have to go via the USA and I have to pay import tax... Just making sure I understand this correctly?

[ddeeddii]

$32 for a 60 page notepad??
Love the design however

[rail]

Hand made in the UK. But shipped via Cotton Bureau in the US.

[jnorris]

Maybe I’m lost, but can’t I just get a personal organizer or a notepad for about $6 at Staples?

[EntropicTroponin]

53 cents per page. Jeez, what a markup
