Awesome Planning Notebook

If you are reader of this blog and you didn’t know that I totally nerd out on notebooks, pens, productivity, GTD (Getting Things Done), task lists, etc. - well, then I guess now you know! Anyways I recently found out that Moleskine has come out with X Large notebooks. This is significant because when I am planning anything in the brainstorm / brain dump phase it has to be on paper, the bigger the sheet the better (and graph paper is the best for this).The problem is the only large sheets of graph paper I can find are the pads of paper. They start to fall apart pretty easily and detach. With all the planning materials that I have on these pads it drives me crazy trying to keep them nice. So when I found out Moleskine was coming out with an X Large Graph Notebook, well it was the best of both worlds. Super sexy notebook with a nice cover and a strap to keep it closed, and the large graph paper space for planning.The only issue is that the X Large moleskine notebooks aren’t sold in the United States. And the cost for getting one notebook sent here from the United Kingdom is almost $50, yikes!I had given up thinking I could get away from my mess of graph pads when I was in Staples today, and I found the sweetest thing ever. It is called a computation book. It is full of graph paper, the pages are already numbered (The extent of my notebook nerdom is pretty intense, I number my own pages and create indexes of the information in the notebook in the last couple of pages) and it has a durable cover that will last a long time. This notebook is even a little larger than the moleskine one.Anyways, I thought I would let you know, and point you to a great notebook that can help you keep your brainstorming, planning notes, mind maps and what every you need a little more space for, all in one place.Computation Notebook 1Computation Notebook 2Computation Notebook 3
