How are you using your Moleskine?
Submitted by jcisco on September 27, 2006 - 8:35am.
I was inspired by patrickrhone's suggestions on using a moleskine for a capturing device. I bought one, figuring I would use it - but at the same time I discovered the essence of HipsterPDA (I'm very, very new to GTD, have not even finished the book yet).
So I have my Moleskine, with some index cards in the back. Yet I find I am only using the index cards, capturing what needs to be captured, and tossing them in my physical inbox.
So what are you using your Moleskine's for? Todo lists?
Just need some input and advice. Thanks!

I only use my Moleskine...
I only use my Moleskine as a log. I write down a small snippet about what I do throughout the day. I use the gridded one and one tip I have is to write sideways. That way it's like you have one bigger sized piece of paper that all goes one direction rather than two columns side by side. I find it's easier to write that way too.
I use a small Mead Marble memo book to write actions down. Though I'm going to move to a Rhoda eventually. But I'm also thinking of using half-sized index cards or post its in my Moleskine...
The main reason I don't like the idea of doing tasks in a Moleskine is that you can't get rid of that information when you're done with it. I like the other options I mentioned because I can remove them when they are processed and they are no longer there to distract me nor do I have to flip to wherever I left off.
