    1. Scoot, I definitely agree with you! I've considered (but never bought) moleskine before, but love the fact I can easily start over in my filofax. I love the flexibility my filo gives me. I hole-punch all sorts of notes, magazine articles & don't need to keep them there unless I want to. I've even carefully pulled apart a small Dalai Lama book & have that in the misc section.

    2. Steve--thanks so much for linking to my blog posts!

      @Scoot and Anita--that was exactly my problem with Moleskine! Though I loved how sleek and arty it looked on the outside, I found myself only recording appointments in it (which was handy, given that I had a newborn at the time and lots of doctors appointments.) But I felt a bit stilted--as if only important appointments or arty thoughts should be recorded in it.
      I absolutely love the flexibility of the Filofax system! If I want a section dedicated to "Names I would give to my band, if I had a band or any musical talent outside of drunken karaoke" all I have to do is creat a tab for said section. As gorgeous as my Filofaxes are on the outside, I can fill it with anything I want, and in any order, on the inside.

    3. scoot - you can scan each page of your book and save them as pdf files, place them in quark or indesign to layout, print, cut down to size, and 6-hole drill it. or have someone do it for you. it's a fairly simple job for a printshop - and if they're not too busy it shouldn't take any less than a day - about 2 hours worth of work really from start to finish. i wish i still had access to a print shop or else i'd offer to hook you up (if you live in the states) but laid off like 9% of my other fellow americans. too bad as i have a ton of graph paper i'd love to have cut down and 6 hole drilled---it wouldn't take that long...waaay shorter than ruler, exacto and single hole puncher - that's for sure
