pocket notebook

Small carried journal

A pocket notebook is a small notebook designed to fit in a pocket, typically used for jotting quick notes, lists, or ideas on the go.

The format invites portability over capacity—usually fewer than a hundred pages, often with a flexible cover: He pulled out his pocket notebook and scribbled down the license plate number.

Writers, journalists, and detectives are stereotypically associated with them.
