'Super Book'?

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum and here's my first question:

Some time and self management books or seminars here in Germany promote the use of a (hard-bound) book into which everything should go, in chronological order.
The term for this can roughly (!) be translated as "super book" ("Superbuch", in German).

First, could some native English speaker give me the correct English term for such a book, please? That would make googling so much easier.

Secondly, any idea how the use of such a book could possibly map to GTD? Other than a hard-bound inbox, I can't see this fit into the GTD system, although I can see it as potentially useful (no more loose notes, everything in one place, etc.).

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
