Revisiting older posts...

Looking through my blog... For links and inspiration.

Rediscovered my Moleskine Hacks list.

Margaret Cooter has an interesting offer as she continues her exploration of books, text and the journey they can travel.*

Check it out to take part.

*I wrote that quickly... makes sense to me but perhaps not a complete definition of Margaret's work!

new year... in one week

I can use my new diary in one week!

it's a poor photo as the conservatory roof is covered in snow (again).

moleskine hacks

I've been researching ideas on how to use my new Moleskine.

• Start a 'work' to do list at the top of the page and work your way down.  Start a personal to do list at the bottom and work your way up.  As seen here.
• There is a fuller explanation here.  I need a master to do list!  I especially like how things get moved forward to each day to do list.  So even if you don't actually do everything that day you do get to put a mark in the box...
• There is a big hack list here.
• I quite like this reminder on mind maps...
• I think I should end each day or week with an I Did It list.
• Some paper inspiration can be seen here on Ahhh-Design.  I especially like the layout for blog post planning here and also here at 74 Lime Lane.
• There is also this layout for projects along the lines of Getting Things Done (GTD) which looks interesting.  Its inspired by this.
• This is also a good idea - doodle and explore on the left hand page, formal list on the main part of right hand page with actions broken out in separate column.

I have learnt from my previous 'lets get organised!' phases that the simpler the better... hence why these are all quite simple hacks... (if I were to go completely GTD my head would explode).

I think its more about how to use a blank page of paper to efficiently capture random ideas, to do lists and calendar...and if it looks nice all the better!

This is a nice post about how different people use their Moleskine notebooks.  I like it because it shows them rough and ready - so many photos of Moleskines in action are quite intimidating or is that just my insecurity?

Anyway in my searches I was reminded of Cornell note taking.  And then I remembered I'm supposed to be doing a AS Level in English Literature and Language...

How did that drop of my to do list?
