Do you start the year by setting up a new notebook or planner? What’s your method? Dustin at Stepcase Lifehack shares his steps for starting a new Moleskine for 2010:
Since I make a big deal about using a Moleskine (or similar notebook) as an always-with-you productivity tool, I thought I’d share exactly how I set [...]
It’s always interesting to read about how others use notebooks– everyone’s system is different! Here’s someone who’s found an inexpensive method that works for her:
