With my brand new Moleskine, I started to wonder if it will be productive enough to keep my old HPDA setup with me. I didn’t liked very much, it was very easy to use, but it bends all the time, it gets durty, etc., so I thought in a way of having best of both methods (HPDA and Moleskine) in just one single system. As I always do, I started to ask some questions around and Tim, one of my best friends and counselors, gave me an amazingly cool idea: he called it “Nsghmufhgk” which, wasn’t really working because at that time Tim was eating some cookies; so I thought on calling it, “The Tim’s Moleskine Hack ©”.
Behold!
It’s really easy: the first two pages of your Moleskine becomes your HPDA. It works with Post-its (those yellow little things that are attached to the bottom of your shoes) instead index cards. It is working very well with me right now, I can move things back an forth, on top of others, I can delete stuff right on the moment, I can review notes, etc!
The principe is the same, and it works better because it’s on your Moleskine now. I usually keeps one Post-it for On Computer, other for Street, other for Home and a bunch other for projects and ideas. If you are out of space, you can use the next two pages, that’s why I recommend you to leave four pages blank after the first two pages, that should work.
Thanks Tim for such great advice, again.
Great tip. If you don’t mind, I’ll keep an I on your feed for the Moleskine category on the bellobene-blog. Btw, I digg your subtle RSS-icon ;-)
