Laywine's is a fabulous store, stocking not only Filofax but Shinola, Rhodia, and other high-quality organizer and notebook brands, including some Japanese ones that are hard to come by in North America. I wish we had something like it in Boston! Lunch at Vaticano was delicious, too (although our waiter seemed a little flustered)!Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16579641591987288245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-8491717721541836892015-07-24T07:12:53.706-04:002015-07-24T07:12:53.706-04:00It was a fabulous day!

I try, try, try to implement similar systems but always end up back to a drawer of file folders. <br /><br />One of my favorite instructors lectured entirely from yellow legal pads, and had a huge stack of them.

My lecture PowerPoints are printed two/page on personal and I use these pages like a teleprompter, except that I can easily add marginal notes for asides, elaborations, etc. Most courses will also have either an A5 or B5 auxiliary binder with printouts of problems Alan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163255067102493914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-68282855981535513162015-07-22T09:54:26.470-04:002015-07-22T09:54:26.470-04:00Josh, it would have been great to have met you.Josh, it would have been great to have met you.Alan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163255067102493914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-57193905787629207642015-07-22T09:53:09.735-04:002015-07-22T09:53:09.735-04:00You can see them in a few pictures, but not in eno...You can see them in a few pictures, but not in enough detail to identify them.
