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

 Moleskine Pocket DiarySubmitted by wood.tang on February 2, 2006 - 1:51pm.
I've been using the small, dated Moleskine Pocket Diary as a PDA. It has one page for each day with plenty of room for appointments, to-do, quick notes, etc, and if you're really committed to paper, it comes with an address book tucked in the back pocket. It's small enough to carry with you anywhere you would want to carry a PDA, and it's pretty sturdy too. I use it in combination with iCal on my laptop (I like to use iCal for recurring events and a monthly view). Each week during my review, I "sync" the notebook with iCal by writing down my next few weeks' appointments. I also keep my next action and project lists on index cards in the back pocket. It's been working pretty well, though I still miss the connectivity of my Treo. » POSTED IN:
