Moleskine Monday: Evernote Expansion

Screen Shot 2014-10-04 at 6.34.11 PM

Moleskine’s Evernote collection keeps growing, as they now offer various options in pocket and large size, including squared, lined and plain pages, as well as the heavier-weight sketchbook pages, softcover journals, and a planner. Presumably this means the products have been successful, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone using one. I occasionally use the basic version of Evernote on my phone, usually when I photograph a bottle of wine I’ve enjoyed in a restaurant and want to remember for later. I also use other forms of electronic list-keeping, and I’d be lost without my electronic address book and having all my appointments in an electronic calendar. I love paper, but I long ago discovered that certain things worked better for me digitally. So although I have my feet firmly planted in both worlds, I can’t get my head around the idea of combining them with a notebook like this. It seems overly complicated to write things in a notebook, tag them with stickers, and then photograph them to upload them to Evernote. But maybe that’s just me… How about you? Does anyone have any success stories about how they use Moleskine’s Evernote products?

  1. Dan Brown of Sort of Interesting Life has a couple of reviews of this Moleskine, as well as the Leuchtturm Whitelines version. He’s a big fan of the Leuchtturm version.

    As you can see, he is a notebookaddict as well.

    Also, Dottotech seems to like it as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKi0dTSPCi8

    I bought a Moleskine and a Whitelines Leuchtturm myself as well and I’m planning on doing a review about it.Only problem is I already have like a gazillion other notebooks I’m currently using. (Sounds a bit familiar?) But whenI finally got there I’ll drop you a line!

  2. I’ve been wondering the same questions, too. I love Evernote for certain things, and I love paper notebooks for everything else, but I can’t seem to find a place where they should overlap and make my life better. But the Well-Appointed Desk has found an interesting use for her Clairefontaine ME notebook, which is a similar idea (BUT it costs the same as the non-electronic notebook, which can’t be said about the Evernote Moleskine).
