Planner Wishlist
onceuponapress | Jan 23 2006
Hi guys - I'm a letterpress printer from Baltimore. As a "promotional" item (more like side-project fun) I want to create a planner for next year. Being an avid reader of 43folders, i figured it would be a good place to start bouncing around some ideas. This is what I've got so far. For each section (month) there will be the following Right now the idea is for this to be a soft cover like the cahiers, but with a deeper pocket in the back like the reporter or other hardcover journals. Inside would be a booklet of perforated index cards, to be used as necessary. Some things that I'm keeping in mind while doing research are paper quality and the ability to lay flat, two things that people really seem to like about the moleskins. I'm also looking at rhodia as inspiration, as I use those a lot too. So, what items have you added to your base notebook, notecard, etc setup that you think is really useful? any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Ben 6 Comments

Thanks for the contact info! I think you raise an interesting question. I kind of a "pad" of letterpress printed, on great paper, forms for daily use. However, the most self-actualised person I know does the following: keeps all her daily notes and each day looks at what she did exactly one year ago. If she had a meeting, she calls the person she met with and brings up whatever they talked about, etc, etc. Pretty amazing. I think if I had a nicely printed counterpart to the computer I would be more likely to keep it... » POSTED IN:
