• Synonym雑記帳ざっきちょうNeutralA notebook for jotting down miscellaneous things; the focus is on miscellany, and it does not have to be something you carry around.
• Synonym帳面ちょうめんNeutralA general word for a bound notebook, also for account books and registers; it has an old-fashioned ring, and people usually say 「ノート」 or 「帳簿」.
• Synonym備忘録びぼうろくWrittenA book of memos kept so that things are not forgotten; a written, formal word rather than everyday speech.
• Synonym筆記帳ひっきちょうWrittenA written-style word for a notebook for taking notes; in everyday speech people say 「ノート」.
• Synonym控え帳ひかえちょうWrittenA book for recording matters you keep for later reference; used far less often than the others.
• Related通帳つうちょうNeutralA bank passbook. It matches 「手帳」 only in being a small booklet; the purpose is completely different, so they are not interchangeable.

Use 「手帳」 for the small book you carry to note schedules and memos. For study notebooks say 「ノート」, for memos kept so you won't forget 「備忘録」, for elementary school exercise books 「学習帳」, and for a bank passbook 「通帳」.
