The Reason For This Blog

I have been scouring the internet for what people are calling 'hacks', bassically modifications, for my notebook so i could turn it into a functional and organized paper version of a pocket pc type thingy. i have for the past one and a half years been using small notebooks, bits of paper and parts of my mobile phone to accomodate my many needs so this year i decided to try and fit it all into one thing, a moleskine notebook. only one problem. none of the hacks i found were exactly what i needed, so i decided that i would take the best ideas and put them to the test and see what i came up with for the final version. the outcome of this is what the blog follows, The Evolution Of My Moleskine.

The Others

I currently use 2 moleskines other than the one I am butchering for this project. These have given me some ideas.

I have and still use the pocket cahiers for general notes and reminders for work, I started with the plain ones but found the lack of lines made my writing go all over the place. these gave me the idea for one of the modifications for the new one, the perforated pages at the back, very use full. I have no idea how I am going to do this but Ill figure it out.


The other one is the limited edition red weekly planer + notebook I got for Christmas, This had many uses, It started off life as what I hoped to be the all in one but as I have discovered it doesn't work like that, I now use it to log what I have done day to day, Like where I went what I did, The note page is used as a place to put my private thoughts.


This moleskine came with a neat little mini notebook with info book style tabs in it, This is also going to be used in conjunction with my new project as a phone/address/personal details book. So lets see what happens when they get put to use.
