A notepad earns its keep by staying simple, and this one keeps to exactly that with "Take Note" printed in navy across a warm ivory page, above a clean two-column checklist and a cobalt blue painted edge along every sheet. A date line and day-of-week checkboxes sit at the top, so each page can be dated and filed the moment the list is finished, with rows of check boxes running down both columns and a boxed notes section below for longer thoughts. Graphique de France built it for a desk that wants function first and a little color along the edge.
