TL;DR: Take a page from the future with the Rocketbook Fusion smart reusable notebook set for $69.99, a 17% savings as of May 18.

Even with all the apps, websites, and other digital hacks around today, there’s still nothing quite as powerful as putting pen to paper. It forces you to focus, plays a crucial role in learning, and can even help with memory. But in 2020, with so many other issues across the globe, we don’t necessarily want to create a bigger mess by wasting paper and killing trees. Digital note-taking is just so much more convenient and environmentally-friendly.

Somewhere in the middle between the benefits of the digital and physical world lies Rocketbook. We’ve discussed these magical notebooks before: There was the Wave, which connected your physical notes to your favorite cloud services, and required a microwave to erase the contents for reuse. Then there was the Everlast, which took things up a notch, using a damp cloth to erase a special type of paper like a dry erase board. It had no fixed format, leaving room for lots of freedom and creativity. Some folks require a bit more structure, though, which is where the newest Rocketbook, dubbed the Fusion, comes in.

Inside the Rocketbook Fusion there are 42 pages with seven different styles for planning, listing, goal-setting, note-taking, sketching, and more. The pages have permanent task lists, weekly planners, monthly calendars, and OKR goal templates, along with dot grids and lined pages. And of course, like other Rocketbook products, it features patented reusable Core technology that lets you write smoothly with a Pilot FriXion pen and magically wipe it clean with a damp cloth to reuse over and over again. Before you erase, however, be sure to scan and save your notes, plans, and goals via the Rocketbook app, so you can keep everything organized in the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Slack, OneNote, etc.).

Here, look for yourself:

It doesn’t take a rocket(book) scientist to see why the Fusion has earned 4.5 out of 5 stars and the Amazon Choice badge of honor. This thing is like magic, giving you an environmentally-friendly way to feel the power of putting pen to paper. And you can get two notebooks and two pens on sale for just $69.99 (originally $85).
