Buying a diary/planner

gin_web · 06-25-2009, 03:30 PM

I need a new academic diary and was told to get a "moleskine" branded one.

Anyone have one of those? Any comments on whether they're worth the £9($12)?

What kind of (paper) diary do you use (if any)?

There's an app for that.

I'm a big fan of the iphone and envious of anyone who has one but I can't afford one.

My phones calendar is shocking and my laptop is a 17" monster so I can't take it with me.

I have an unhealthy attachment to my Moleskines. Get on it.

Are you a hipster? They're a big part of the anatomy of a hipster.

Moleskins are the ipods of calendars, can do basically the same thing as every other brand but are oh so pretty, very trendy and of course expensive.
Don't get me wrong I love my ipod ...

Well, it has history and it's just the best damn tool for the job. I love it.

QFT. They're brilliant. I fill one up about every 6 months!

Haven't used it since I had kids and left the soul sucking 70 hr sales world, but I loved my Franklin Planner. I know there is an insert for students. The only downside I ever heard of was one being subpoena'd. In that case, it's probably better to leave "take over the world" off of your to-do list.

That's about my pace, too.
