How I use my Moleskine

I discovered moleskine’s while I was listening to a podcast that was touting them as the new PDA.  It is a very simple notebook that feels nice as it is covered in a foe leather like cover. The pages, lined or not are a light beige so they are easy on the eyes. The notebooks have a strap that keeps it closed or can be used to hold your page. It also has a bookmark attached that can be moved page to page. Lastly there is a pocket in the back to hold receipts, stamps or anything else. There are many styles; the traditional book like, and also a reporter style that opened vertical. All together for the price this is a great notebook with lots of features. They come in many sizes and styles. Also pre-printed with calendars and other useful day planner type prints.

I use the classic style as a daily journal to dump my thoughts and empty my head. I use the reporter style as a basic GTD task list. These are great catchalls when you are not a computer. Also if you attach a pen to the side you will always be able to capture anything that comes your way.

I gotta twitch

Ever try to go to sleep and something keeps waking you up?  For me it is some kind of twitch.  It’s like my brain telling me “WAKE UP, YOUR NOT DONE YET”.  So this is why I am updating this old blog.  My brain needs something to do.
