I never really had that problem. Maybe naively I assumed nothing would ever happen because I was always careful. But this one day when I rushed instead of took my time, really messed me up. I guess now I have a reason to write more blog posts on the subject. [...] [...] Cammeron Reilly pointed me to a blog post of his when he first made the leap to a paper lifestream, and the concern he had about losing it. I never really had that problem.

Tony, the Moleskine is for your Brainstorming point lists, 1st & 2nd drafts of new diagrams etc. The kinda stuff you keep to prove that patent really is yours. The classic engineers workbook. Stuff you think you could want to come back to in 2 years time. ToDo and shopping lists still go in the spiral notepad or scrap half page of A4.

It's a notepad, right? blank sheets of paper in a fancy binding? Would a spiral notepad from Officeworks do the same job? OK, hit me: I suspect that I just don't get Moleskine-foo. Teach me the 'M'-Zen. Tell me again: what’s the deal with the Moleskine? It’s a notepad, right? blank sheets of paper in a fancy binding? Would a spiral notepad from Officeworks do the same job?

He certainly wasn’t the first, but he seems to have been an early adopter of a growing trend in geekdom. [...] [...] My brother has been spruiking the joys of Moleskins for a while.

It doesn't have to be all or nothing with the technology. Every time you write about synchronising or rebuilding, I pray for you!! You can use the technology but without linking it so much. I still use a small diary filofax which I can carry in my pocket, for my calendar and note taking. Outlook at the mid-level for tasks and task lists. And MindManager for the high level overview and listing Projects and Tickles, but none of it is synchronised so I don't face those problems. I'm with you on the Tablet. It's never been quite comfortable and convenient enough to use for note taking in meetings, but in meetings where I know there's a danger of falling asleep, I take notes with the tablet pen on MindManager, just for the novelty to keep me awake!! It will be interesting to see how you go with a paper based system. I wonder how you'll create and keep your lists updated. Personally, I like MindManager and Outlook tasks for lists, which I've started printing out and carrying with me. What are you going to use for your calendar? A paper diary? Good Luck with the Moleskine.
