I still use it as the calendar (week to view) and annual planner can be replaced every year, lined paper for a Notes Section, Birthdays and anniversary section and of course the address book. All in a black leather case that I rub down with Patchouli oil now and again.<br /><br />I have a notebook for memorable movies and books and, thanks to you, books I want to read. <br /><br />I have a Gardening to-do list and as you say, it's very satisfying crossing off things completed. <br /><br />Alas, no lovely little stickers like your Moleskine - my loss. <br /><br />Viva las listas.Lady Luz(Pamela)http://salamanderverde.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-32128386627294560382013-01-04T22:47:29.068-03:302013-01-04T22:47:29.068-03:30Ah, yes!

And I hear all of you saying if you don't write it down immediately it'll leave, never to be heard from again.....so lists---everywhere. This planner sounded great until I saw the dimensions. Even if I start out small and neat, once I hit my stride, my writing gets big and scrawly! I'd have to have a new one every week, and I'd get demerits for mess and untidiness!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-17020029555336200392013-01-04T21:44:29.458-03:302013-01-04T21:44:29.458-03:30OWJ:

I forget it. Forever. No, it doesn't come back later if I think about something else.<br />I also have the same problem when I watch some mind candy film on NetFlix.<br />The cliche about remembering long-ago happenings is alsoi true. I remember people and events as long ago as when I was one and a half, but I forget to buy yogurt if I don't write it down immediately.

It sounds like I ought to have one too because I am forever scribbling things down in my agenda for which there is no room. All my to do activities are written down on seperate lists that do not combine in this way. No, I do not have them organized electronically as I think that would be too much of a hassle and I likw being able to put the whole thing in my purse and go and write the items down with a genuine pen on paper. I have some very special pens in my purse especially for that purpose. There is some pleasure in being able to do that. xoxIrenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-9537999094485848432013-01-03T22:43:24.157-03:302013-01-03T22:43:24.157-03:30I make lists all the time.
