Michael Bierut's Notebooks
Merlin Mann | Jan 29 2009
Design Observer: 26 Years, 85 Notebooks Why a notebook link from the guy who’s supposedly over notebook pr0n? Easy. This is all about how Michael Bierut has used his 85 notebooks over the past 26 years.
It’s a fascinating mini-memoir, told through almost three decades of lines in a go-to capture tool. To me, this is much more about habits, cognition, and memory than paper and cardboard.
I disagree. Any process that stops feeling like a process has become an ideal process. [via: Kottke: 26 years of notes] [Note: This post originally appeared on our daughter site, “43 Folders Clips,” and we liked it enough to republish it here.] POSTED IN:
