Just about half the collection
I’ve been putting some order in my collection of Moleskine notebooks, diaries and so on. I use one as agenda (click here to know more about this moleskine hack) but I like the very small, light blue diary. It’s really super-pocket size. I also really like the National Gallery special edition notebook, the red one in the picture on the left. If you get tired of the black, plain ordinary pocket Moleskine, that’s the one for you.
But Moleskines are rarely ordinary. Not only hacks, but every notebook has its own taste and the level of customisation one can give to these notebooks is infinite.
For example, I have one ruled, large notebook that had become my recipes book. As I cook or whenever I am at a cookout, I take note at a small, ruled, reporter notebook. I scribble down notes, tips, tricks and such. Some recipes I don’t keep, but others will be written down in the “official” book later.
Another large notebook is ready for my upcoming travels to Scandinavia. I usually use a plain one, so that I can scribble down, draw or sketch down places, stick photos, bits of maps and so on.
So, what is your favourite notebook? If you have a favourite. How do you like to take notes? Just scribble down anything or follow your OCD* tendencies?
