Moleskine weekly planner

When I was in high school and college I used those spiral bound weekly planners for both my assignments and occasional notes. Somewhere along the way I decided to separate the schoolwork from everything else. And now years later I'm much more interested in the everything else than whether today is the 14th anniversary of a chemistry test I took.

I've lamented that I always wish that I blogged more but it can be hard to record each day without it all being mundane. Thus returns our friend the weekly planner, and to really do it up nice I've upgraded to the Moleskine version. I actually found and purchased this version way back in August at Book People in Austin. I hadn't seen one before in stores and couldn't bear to put it down. I had just recovered my college renditions of these while packing and so many memories came with them.

I bought the full size version since it will most likely live on my nightstand, but they come in pocket, large and extra large sizes as well as soft and hard cover. All the possibilities are at your fingertips in their online catalog. I would ask Barnes & Noble if they can order the one you want if they don't have it in stock.

It doesn't take much. Just a few lines to remind you if that was the day you stubbed your toe, bought a dog, cried all day, went on a trip, had a massive headache. I can't wait for 2009 to get back into the swing of it!
