My favorite Moleskine hacks:

1. Keep a few post-its stuck to an index card in the accordian pocket.

2. Keep a list of critical Next Actions stuck to the outside. I use post-its that are the same general size as the mini Moleskine, with the stickiness along one of the long edges. I then keep the non-sticky edge under the elastic so it stays in place in my pocket. I can glance at my list without even opening the book.

3. Oh, and I have decided not to worry about ink bleed. I sometimes use my Parker Sonnet if I’ve got it handy, otherwise I’ll use a pencil. The bleed through is minimal, and while it might occasionally interfere with the pristine aestheticism of my notebook, it has never interfered with legibility.

My only aversion is to ball-points. Ungh. Tools of the devil.
