Moleskine Suggestions
Adam Machado posts a quick list of Moleskine Suggestions. Good stuff, although I would suggest looking into the Fisher Space Pen as an alternative to the Pilot (The Fisher’s ink doesn’t need time to dry, but the Pilot’s does). Here they are:
- Don’t try to fill your Moleskine up deliberately, just use it casually
Prevents ‘crap’ from being written down and saves pages - You can read out of your Moleskine, but don’t let others read through your it
Some material may be personal - Take it everywhere
Just in case something comes up or is worth noting - Don’t rip out pages
It’s respectful and it saves pages - Draw at your own risk
Mess ups do happen and pen is hard to erase - Save your Moleskine(s)
Makes for a good read later on - Stickers are OK
Having your own personality is encouraged - Use the Pilot G2 pen
.7mm or lower, they wont smear or go through the pages - Recruit those who you think are worthy of using Moleskines
Not everyone is worthy - Tabs
Good for organizing sections - Enjoy

Yeah, the space pen is totally awesome. I have had 2 in the past, and I still have one now, but it is so small that I can’t find it:P Plus the space pen has a cool hack. I simply suggested the G2’s because they dont cost 15-20 dollars. Thanks for the link up. Hit my site up anytime and leave a comment.

True, my biggest problem with the Space Pen is finding it ‘ it’s tiny! =)
I used to love the G2 (and I still do for uses other than my moleskine) but I guess I just write too fast on those tiny pages and I would always have bleed-over. Plus, I do a mock-up calendar in the back of my moleskine (my own original moleskine hack, I’ll probably blog on it soon) so I usually open it up, write in a date, and close it.
