After spending the last 5 or so years syncing my task list on a palm pilot I can attest that using Moleskines does add a bit of time on data input but OmniFocus and iGTD make it so easy it really isn't that much time. The other benefit is you don't have to deal with the occaisional problems that Palm syncing causes like doubling all your task list items or (worse yet) deletion. Leonard,

I too have recently began using a Moleskine. Partially due to the fact that I discovered them on Flickr, which piqued my interest. So I just had to go out and buy a few to try them and see what all the excitement was about. I must admit they are extremely well designed and quite nice to use. However like you, I don't particularly like carrying the hardbound version, so I'm going to try out the soft cover versions, which I learned of through your writings here. (thank you). One of the motivations for me was that my handwriting has deteriorated badly, as I do everything on my ThinkPad and therefore I hardly write anymore. Also I use a BlackBerry which has a perfect interface with Outlook which then makes it very easy to sync the two, thereby avoiding the duplication of effort my manually having to "copy" notes from a Moleskine to the computer. However that said, I was very eager to recover my hand writing. In addition, I'm getting ready to go back to my beloved roots on the Mac, and purchase a new MacBook Pro. I embrace change, get bored easily and therefore find myself very excited at this backwards compatible move to an analog Moleskine. Then the real excitement of purchasing a new MBP is very high, especially since I've used quite a few PowerBooks in the past and have really loved them. As far as losing a bit of time by having to copy the notes in my Moleskine into my Mac, no worries, I could think of a lot worse things to burn up time doing. Finally I would like to compliment you, on your superb sense of humor in the tag line below your blog logo: "Drinking the Mac Cool-Aid and it's delicious" I laughed so hard and read it over and over at least five times. Nothing better than good humor and yours is stellar! Cheers! Thanks, I enjoyed the Great Read!
