Do you Moleskine?

Moleskine.jpgA few years ago I discovered the ruled Moleskine:  Moleskine Ruled Notebook Large and Moleskine Ruled Notebook Pocket . They have a cool elastic string that keeps it closed and a fantastic pocket at the back for storage. For two years I have kept all my notes and sermon outlines in such a notebook, and I carry the little pocket Moleskine to jot down ideas and books to read and posts to write and anything else that comes to mind. Now Lukas wants the pocket sized one for his baseball scouting notes.

Now an open thread: What do you think of Moleskines? Or, how do you take notes?

I have been using the small Moleskin for daily devotions and lectio divina for almost a year now. It really is the perfect size to take around anywhere, from Church to class to coffee houses. In particular, I like being able to use it when I go for spiritual direction.

I've lost count of how many moleskine's i own! They are without doubt the coolest, classiest notebooks ever! i'm a songwriter and use them to record on the go inspirations etc. what's great about the binding is that unlike most notebooks, i can lay an opened moleskine on a table without fear of the pages turning or the notebook closing. great for playing guitar whilst reading/singing through song ideas.

I have used moleskines for a couple of years now. Especially use the pocket size for journaling as well catching the very occasional thought as it passes through.

An essential pen for me is the "bookmark pen." It's flat and fits nice in the cover.

Used to be able to get at Barnes & Noble but now available on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-in-Box-FENG-SHUI-Bookmarker-Pens-Lot-7-in-Case-GIFT_W0QQitemZ110315344905QQcmdZViewItem Don't know what's so Feng-Shui about them.

There are some at B&N but they have hearts on them. Yeech!

Fans of the Getting Things Done (GTD) time management system rave about moleskines when they're not trying to find the next best time-management system.

The Moleskine pocket sized is the ultimate for capturing short thoughts. I carry one with me everywhere. The pocket sized one is perfect for off the cuff, short thoughts. I have a bigger moleskine that I use for longer thoughts...often based on my shorter thoughts.
