Design a Moleskine GTD System?
Submitted by mshea on May 11, 2007 - 7:00am.
I was really fascinated by the Moleskine City notebook and everything they were able to pack into something that is just a bit bigger than a normal Moleskine.
It got me thinking....
How would you design a single Moleskine that let one implement the entire GTD system?
In order to do this it would need the following:
1. A set of plain pages for an "inbox".
2. A full year weekly calendar big enough for appointments and date reminders.
3. A contacts list for phone numbers and contact information.
4. A place for project lists, waiting for lists, and someday maybes.
5. A place for next action lists and Agendas.
Some of these are really best as loose leaf items, like the next action lists and agendas. Currently I use notecards for this. How could loose leaf material best work in a Moleskine? I have this vision of tiny little rings but thats probably impractical.
How can a single notebook have multiple pullout parts? I have another vision of three or four Cahier style notebooks all bound together in a normal Moleskine cover.
So what thoughts do you folks have for a single GTD Moleskine device similar to the city notebook that would remain practical?

It's a single book full GTD system including note cards for action lists, one Cahier for an inbox, one cahier for a weekly calendar (one week per page handwritten), and a contacts booklet. A section of the weekly calendar or the inbox can be used for projects and maybe somedays.
It's a little thicker than a normal Moleskine but it is a single full GTD implementation in one unit that fits in a pocket. Not too bad!
