Since I first saw a Moleskine notebook on the Idea web site about three years ago, I have been using them to keep notes, but it wasn’t until I found Moleskinerie.com that I learned what fun the little darlings can be.

Show your Moleskine love with the Moleskine armband hack.

When you begin to use GTD you will find it enables you to improve your organization skills. To stop there would be a slight, it is more about changing your reliance on your brain and others (Those folk who have the nerve to ask where something you are working on is) to remember things and when they are do. The GTD system gives you what you need to allow yourself to place your faith in an alternate system to do that for you. Thereby lowering the stress you are under when you feel that nagging sensation “Am I forgetting something?”. For me, GTD is not the first organization methodology I have attempted to use, and I hope to report that after a month I am an old pro and I fell wonderful about my method of doing it. Hipskine is the methodology I have implemented joining the Tactile feedback pleasures of a Molskine (http://www.moleskineus.com/moleskine-about.html) planner/journal (http://www.moleskineus.com/diary.html) and the efficient tracking of my next actions in a GTD fashion with Tracks a ruby on rails developed system. All in a device that requires no power, can accept a variety of Writing implements, (A big plus for me since I enjoy collecting pens and pencils way to much) and is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. You can carry it anywhere.

I don’t know about you, but I get more junk mail than bills; so much that I used to get all weepy with excitement when the cable bill came. But no more! Not since I discovered the bounty that is credit card advertisement; you know those little fake plastic credit cards you get in the mail that say YOUR BUSINESS NAME HERE. There are tons of uses for these little things (ice scraper, batter bowl scraper, etc…) and they fit nicely in your moleskine.

I use them for bookmarkers, ice scrapers, straight edges. I even melted one into a bowl shape for use as a paperclip holder.

A few days ago someone created a storyboard template for the large Moleskine sketchbooks, but left the poor little pocket size notebook out in the cold. But I have been using these free plastic credit cards as storyboard templates for a year or more. They fit perfectly on the page of your pocket size Moleskine, but they aren’t tied to it; you can use them anywhere.

買了MOLESKINE Memo Pocket
結帳時看到這個Pen Holder
就順手拿了一個

之前在文具雜誌裡
有看過類似的
但是不確定是否同一個牌子

打算拿來放在目前使用的筆記本上
夾子設計可以放置想放之處
彈簧設計，不管筆管大小都放得進去
也可以卡住筆管
一個放藍筆，一個寫紅筆或黑筆，剛剛好

This may be the greatest Moleskine hack ever, and IO-Data has done all the heavy lifting for you. That’s right, it’s a freakin’ 3 Color pen/pencil with a USB card built right in.

Now all I need is a company that will install a cup holder on the side of my wife’s head!

If you ever wanted to have, a 3 color pencil AND a USB memory key, well the new USB Memory Pen from I-O Data is made for YOU! The most amazing stuff… well for a pen is that we can use it as well as to "stamp" documents. In Japan "stamps" are the legal and/or official way to sign documents.

Subtraction: The Mini-Binder Sketchbook System

There’s a bit of throwback enthusiasm going on right now among the otherwise digitally inclined for the mystique of Moleskine.
These decidedly analog, leather-bound notebooks and sketchbooks are a
counterpoint to the foundering PDA market: they are idea keepers and
organizers that can capture fluid, organic meanderings of the brain in
a way that neither the Palm OS nor the Pocket PC can hope to
approximate. What’s more, rather than losing their value and
technological currency with age, they are built to grow more precious
with repeated use, as their owners invest ever more care and time into
filling their pages.

Ascent Stage

Moleskine notebooks are somewhat faddish right now, but damn they are useful. And there are plenty of sites out there that detail ways to make them more so. Moleskine hacks, so to speak. Here’s my own: a holding mechanism for the Fisher Space Pen.

Sanctum mekkanicum: My notebook Terry pen holder hack
I have an original Terry that has been with me since the late seventies. Most of time it has gathered dust in my box of useful-someday-things. Of couple of days ago, in a sudden rush of inspiration, I hacked the pen clip on the back cover of my notebook:
