oh!! i have those!!! my sister gave them to me for my birthday and they’re just sitting here taunting me until 2010 LOL. can’t wait to start using them…love your photos

[Reply]

Amazing. I DEFINITELY need a set of those!

[Reply]

LOVE them (and your pics!)

I’ll have to look into getting a set of these. As of right now, my organizational system is a chaotic combination of scraps of paper, post it notes, 3 or four rotating composition books and Moleskine mini notebooks, with Action Method on my iPhone to take care of my project based tasks…. Sometimes I write things down on my arm if they are really important.

As a Virgo rising, I have avidly been using a daily planner since middle school (I am now 31). I have tried many. I thought the wallet/planner hybrids were the greatest for a while, but they are not pocket friendly. I turned to the Moleskine planners about five years ago. You can fit so much in them. I love the pocket in the back and the strange stickers are pretty amusing as well. The ribbon marker is fantastic. I used to have to fold a corner to keep my place, but that can obscure a date and throw me off. I am most keen on the red July to December Moleskine Pocket Planner. It makes the transition from year to year a lot smoother.

I always keep a paper planner (this semester I tried keeping track of things on my iPhone, it was a total headache! Maybe when I no longer have ‘homework’ I will try it again…).

I bought these as well, but I’m pretty quickly realizing there isn’t going to be a convenient way to carry them around… how are you planning on keeping them? As of right now, I think I am going to cut the date pages out of my 2009 notebook & that will allow me to carry about 3 months tucked inside at a time, unless I find a better idea somewhere.

Last year, I think I finally found the paper planner of my dreams. It’s the Barnes & Noble Desk Diary. I bought this one for the coming year. It’s a pretty green leather with gold detail and has quotes from famous authors.

I’m getting them for Christmas! so excited. I feel like I want to get colour co ordinating pens for them:)

These are rad and I think I need them! Luke’s comment sounds familiar. I’m currently bouncing between Action Method on my iphone, a blank moleskin mini notebook, various scraps of paper, post it notes, google calander, some google docs, and the most important tasks get drawn in pictograph onto my hand. In 2010 I need to figure out how to streamline.

[Reply]

oh these are ADORABLE!!
i’m a teacher and as such, it’s really important to keep myself organised…and, to be honest, i’m the kind of gal who can organise to the point of procrastination…
i tried pre-printed teachers’ planners, diaries and then finally i decided that the only way to get what i wanted was to make my own…so each summer i tweak my previous year’s design and get a new planner printed onto A4 paper…

the thing i was determined to do this year was to combine my home and work diaries as it was a nightmare keeping up with two!

here’s a snap of a spread in my current one: http://twitpic.com/tj6m8

I ordered myself this baby from Holland’s Typotheque:http://www.typotheque.com/books/pocket_calendar_2010

Limited edition, pocket-size, calendar and sketchbook. Main features are: week overview on a double page, year overview, 12 different pre-printed grids in the sketchbook. International holidays (multi-religious), design events and other days of interest are indicated on the index page, as well as on day overviews. Vinyl cover offers extra protection, and the book is specially bound to ensure that it lies flat when opened.

It is a beautiful little thing, can’t wait to start using it in the New Year!

I’m thinking of a hardcover yearly moleskine planner- yum!

[Reply]

I do use a planner, but it’s just a cute little spiral notebook thing that’s small enough to stick in my purse if need be. I love the look of Moleskines, but weirdly, when I’ve tried using them, they just feel too…nice to actually write in. Plus, I like being able to flip the pages around like a spiral notebook will let you.

[Reply]

I was just holding them today when I went to Borders this afternoon.

I use a Moleskine weekly planner and notebook. I notice I end up writing more in it after the event has happened just to remember it. I make tons of lists in it but I do see that sometimes things always get pushed off to the next week.

I also just bought a Moleskine knockoff Piccadilly notebook at Borders today for notes on my photography and video projects for next year.

[Reply]

I love the idea of those planners! I agree with michelle though, I feel like they are to nice to write in. I preer my spiral TokiDoki planner. It’s fun and coloful!

[Reply]

I’m design-illiterate, so it took me a minute to see the pattern, but when I did, I thought, “Those are really beautiful.”

[Reply]

for the past year i’ve used the moleskine pocket diary to keep my organised

[Reply]

I’ve used a moleskine for three or four years now…. they are the best! But this is even better… I hope they have colour a months here in Finland too!
BTW. The best thing is to keep your old moleskines and then scour through them years later. It’s so funny to see what you were doing&thinking at the time, plus how laughable all the little sketches you made are!

[Reply]

I really like this set and I have been considering it, the only problem I find is that what if I need to jot something down that’ll be happening in a month I’m NOT carrying around with me. Writing it down twice seems a bit counterproductive on my end. Sigh. I really wish I could justify that to myself and get these though.

[Reply]

I will forever love those shoes. I would probably give up my first child for a pair of my own.

[Reply]

Love those planners. I used to track everything in a planner, but now I just use Google calender. The planners never fit in my purse unless I was carrying a large tote and a girl needs her purse size to change!

[Reply]

Jazzi M.:Thanks! i have been totally loving all your blog posts full of your new shoe purchases lately. So so good!

Bef with an F: I am going to carry around the current month and if something comes up for later down the road, I’ll wait till I get home and write it in that month.

cfish: So many scraps, so little time! Keeping multiple sources doe ny to-do list would totally do my head in!

cmykinky: Now, that is beautiful.

Brittanny: Good to know that Borders is carrying them as well.

Sana: I agree….but then I think of each mini planner as a volume in a 12 month series and how much fun it will be to look back and see what I was doing at the end of the year.

Jasmin: I save all my Moleskine planners and notebooks too. It is pretty funny to see how your days were spent and to see what you thought was oh so important.

Melissa Dominic: I never really thought about that; still they are the cutest planners ever and doesn’t that count for something?!

Staar: Thanks! I remember about how unsure I was of them until two people standing around me pleaded their case. So glad I listened.

Thao: Oh, you’re just way too practical for us mere mortals!

Hi Nubby,
I have been following your site for a year but never commented. I enjoy all of your posts they are very inspiring and informative. You are a very creative person with a great sense of style. I wanted to comment on this because I have been trying to figure out what type of planner I want for the next year. I had actually come across these, and I absolutely love them, but am not sure if I could get used to using something like this. Are you planning on carrying them all around or just 1 month and leaving the rest at home? I actually was thinking of creating my own planner with a moleskine and customizing it as I seen so me moleskine hacks on flickr that were doing that but I don’t know yet. I absolutely love the look of these colorful ones

I used a weekly planner for a long time, but after getting married and acquiring an entire other person’s schedule too, I haven’t been writing down a lot of the little tasks I do each day – I switched to tadalist.com for those – so for 2010 I purchased a Moleskine softcover monthly planner, and the entire second half of the planner is plain lined paper. I can’t wait for 2010 to start so I can use it..

[Reply]

Yes, haha! YES IT COUNTS FOR SOMETHING. If I could concot some sort of holder that would hold only three months of those at a time for me, I would be able to use it.

Alas, I think I’ll be hitting up a fullsize moleskine this year. I had been using a FranklinCovey system, but I can no longer find the right refills for it, which kinda upsets me. I had a nice, bright red color.

I honestly wish they made Moleskine agendas in that blueteal color they have there in the color a month set. It’s so my color.

[Reply]

I love these and am planning to get the set and use them alongside my Moleskine diary (pocket sized). My plan is events/appointments/important dates can go in the diary (it’s a full year one) and I can carry around the appropriate month for to-do lists and daily scheduling that there’s not enough space for in the diary. It’s part of my plan for being more organised in 2010. Let’s hope it works!

I am mostly a fail at planning (though better than I used to be); as a triple Pisces (hah!) I prefer to go with the flow. Which is not conducive to getting things done if they need to be done.

I’ve tried Daytimers (too chunky) and for a couple of years used a cute little Lett week-at-a-fold planner, which was small enough to actually carry with me. I used a larger Moleskine planner three years ago, and didn’t like it. There were several poor design aspects (surprising!) that bugged me, including the fact that the dates were printed on the gutter side of the page instead of the outsides (what?).

This year, I never got round to buying one, and have been using a crippled combination of Google Calendar for my own stuff and Microsoft Outlook for work stuff (not good!) (especially when Google Calendar for some reason decided to stop sending SMS updates to my phone – still haven’t fixed that!).

Anyway, I just got this set, and I think they will be perfect, if I use them. The full small calendars for 2010 and 2011 at the front of the book will let me jot down things to transfer into future months, and each booklet itself is my favourite size (I already use the Moleskine cahiers in this size for jottings and writings. I used to have the “Moleskines are too fancy to write in!” problem, but then I spilled some latte on one, and got over it.)

I love how you combined your shoes to your Moleskines, Nubby!
Moleskines are pratical and available in so many different variety. I regular buy one as a gift for my friends. I have been using the weekly notebooks for some years but as much as i loved them as my planner for the upcoming year i felt it was time for something new.

I like simple, clean but very practical designs. I needed a planner that is easy to customize and organize/label myself.
So i browsed around the www & my eyes felt on Korean Design studio’s and they made my mouth literally water.. So my new best friend for next year is a small very purple diary (second diary ver.3) by Studio 2nul. http://www.2nul.com
One of the things i love about my new journal is that it already has pages full of checklists, reviews and even pages to paste in your ticket stubs. Another Design studio i can recommend is http://www.mmmg.net/ love their stuff..

Ok enough papergoods love.
