Staying Organized with Moleskine

Kathy Sierra at Creating Passionate Users shares her organization system using Moleskine. Inspired by PigPog PDA Moleskine hack, she mixed and customized parts to fit her style. Overall the most useful part is how she separated her moleskine into different sections: Next Actions; Projects; Travel/Calendar; Notes; Health; Back Pocket. Also her reasons on using a moleskine instead of a cheap notebook is quite interesting:

2) There’s a theory that says you’ll place a higher value on something you’ve spent more money on, and this is a big part of it for me. I’m forever losing pens and cheap notepads, but this thing I treat a little more like my cell phone or–when I used one–my Palm PDA. This second reason might seem silly or trivial, but I believe it matters. Think about the fact that most people treat the things they’ve invested in with more care than cheaper disposable items.

This is a great tip. But, gosh those Moleskine binders are expensive! There like, $14 U.S.
I do the same thing with a “Black n’Red.” It cost about $6 U.S.
Peace!

I use Moleskine notebooks for everything. I usually buy the three-packs of the skinny notebooks, but have thought about investing in one of the thicker, more expensive ones. They really are great, and I agree that since they’re more expensive, you do place a higher value on them. Plus, the pocket in the back is really useful.
