My first notebook was 8 1/2 x 11 and I soon realized that size was not very portable. I switched to the smaller size, which do fill up quickly!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918569120586036647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814498784799497587.post-40297209833666400112010-07-06T23:18:30.935-05:002010-07-06T23:18:30.935-05:00Nothing like a notebook, they fill up fast, how do...Nothing like a notebook, they fill up fast, how do you store all of yours.<br /><br />I Happen to see a mention of Library thing, Now I will have to search that topic. i always learn something new here. <br />thanksA rootdiggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642330951208433671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814498784799497587.post-42087593475980101032010-07-04T08:33:18.207-05:002010-07-04T08:33:18.207-05:00Barbara, good luck on finding a notebook, there ar...Barbara, good luck on finding a notebook, there are so many neat designs out there now.

Writing on paper or the computer is under my control. Regarding overload, sometimes it feels as though my brain is going to explode. Now, I've got to buy a notebook!

I too have a notebook with me and try and jot everything down I can. <br /><br />I have lost hours and hours of personal research because I get very distracted with all of the wonderful online apps we so need. <br /><br />I recently made the decision to be much more disciplined in my own family history research (why I am not on twitter as much!). I am not getting any younger and my memory gets worse and worse! You said it perfectly and thanks for that.Ginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614538259404355973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814498784799497587.post-2925990097674997522010-07-01T22:55:30.449-05:002010-07-01T22:55:30.449-05:00I like the notion that "the best tool is the ...I like the notion that "the best tool is the one that works... for you." And you are so right, sometimes technology makes things more complicated than they need to be. After bouts with online calendars, task lists, and PIMs I went back to P&P too -- first the DIY notebook and now the Moleskine. Go Analog.<br /><br />Thanks for a good think with this article!Family Curatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187854767575444823noreply@blogger.com
