The floppy disk notebook takes archaic data storing diskettes and turns them into journals capable of stockpiling information once again. [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) shop owner Fishstikks cleverly recycles digital trash and makes them into something useful for today's culture.
The wire-bound memo books consist of [recycled disks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-drive1) in all sorts of attractive and vibrant colors.

They are compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry around in your pocket to jot down all of your life-changing ideas. Along with recycling the disks, Fishstikks also uses 125 sheets of [recycled paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake) to provide the loose-leaf sheets for the technological stationary.

For anyone who still enjoys the feeling of writing down your ideas on something solid, the floppy disk notebook will make you glad you invested in diskette storage once again.
