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 use a small, plain pocket reporter. I stick in (or draw in) a weekly calendar page from DIY planner (http://www.diyplanner.com/) Hipster PDA edition when I do my weekly review. I draw a 1cm (3/8 in?) margin from the left-hand side, and put metadata alongside my notes -- e.g.: a circle for todos (that gets crossed out when done, or synced), an '!' for important things, etc. I keep my GTD lists in a textfile on my desktop. Once a week, or more often as required, I copy the textfile into Word/Pages and reformat it as two-column Courier 9. Print that double-sided, cut off the margins and fold -- once lengthwise and once widthwise. That then fits in the front of my 'skine, so I've always got the list with me. That's my PIM. » POSTED IN:
