Help me make my Moleskine a PDA
shallowcenter | Feb 2 2006
Hi, all-- New board member, first post, so please be gentle. I'm a new Moleskine owner, and, having become very disenchanted with my Palm, am looking to return to a more paper-based personal organizational system. Thoughts on using the Moleskine for this? I can't say the Hipster PDA appeals to me -- I really don't want to be lugging around a bunch of notecards; nothing against anyone who does that, but it just doesn't seem the best way for me. So: Any thoughts on setting up my Moleskine (large ruled journal) to keep track of appointments, to-do lists, contacts, notes, etc. -- essentially what my Palm did -- without getting too complicated? If I'm asking the impossible, just tell me. But gently -- like I said, I'm new here ... ;) Thanks, 7 Comments

I have a small Moleskine (lined, blank - it varies with local availability). I also have the Daytimer compact size 2-page per week booklet which fits in the Moleskine like an insert (but not in the pocket in the back - that's where my business cards are). I used to run a Clie (having started with a Newton 120) but it crashed badly and unexpectedly last spring. I have never had that kind of problem (having owned a Palm III, a IIIc and the Clie.) For fun I bought a Newton 2100 from eBay and have played with it endlessly, but in the end, it's too big to slip in a pocket. While the handwriting recognition is amazing (still... after all this time), I have decided that my Moleskine/Daytimer combo also has 100% accurate handwriting recognition (to me at least). 43f has sure helped with this process of figuring out how to be organized.
