Previous years I have not had a Projects section, but after attending a David Allen Roadmap Seminar this past summer I started doing this, and it has paid off as a good Weekly Review resource.It happens mostly when I'm on travel, and capturing some new information away from my computer or cellphone. I do capture more Contacts than Calendar items using the moleskine.Work items seem to end up in Outlook without making it to pen & paper. I rarely capture items in the Calendar section except for personal items.Once I process something, I mark it done using a yellow highlighter. I start each day with a new line and keep things in chronological order. Thinking of the "notes" section as an Inbox has really made it more appealing to capture everything in the moleskine.Form-factor and ease of pen & paper has been very beneficial to me.Some things I've learned over the last couple of years: Print out a small DIY Planner Hipster PDA GTD Reference Card (tape on back inside cover).Print out a small 2009 year calendar via Pocketmod (tape on front inside cover).Labels: References - Information Inbox - Notes - Tasks Calendar Contacts Roles & Responsibilites and Projects.
Contact information is taped right up front and includes cellphone, email addresses, home phone & address and $20 reward notice if returned.Use my Dymo labler to print up my labels (see below) and contact information in case I loose my moleskine.Here are some of the steps I've refined in setting up my 2009 moleskine : The first one covered 2005, for some reason 2006-2007 was captured in one, and last year (2008) went into a single moleskine. I'm going on my fourth moleskine as my primary David Allen Getting Things Done (GTD) capture device.
