keeping track 2

i described my way of keeping up with my daily stuff in this post earlier. my dad read this post and made me a fantastic present. a new notebook. more, a notebook kit. the basis is the famous and really very perfect atoma notebook system. i combined it with my already tested post-it sliders and extended it in some ways. but before i go into details, have a look at the exceptionally nice notebook.

the huge advantage of the atoma books is that you can take any page out of the notebook at any time at any position and either insert it at an other position or archive it. the kit itself looks like that

just a pack of pages and some alloy rings. it is really stunning when you assemble them to a real notebook and after the first some rings it gets easier to fiddle them together. the system is stunning and so easy and pretty that it makes simply a perfect tool.

i decided to never ever change notebooks again. i just archive out the old projects and always keep a current notebook with me. the current setup has three categories: the main project index ...

... a calendar (as you have single pages you can simply print on them) ...

... and a knowledge base. as i don't have to change notebooks anymore i can assemble a nice little knowledge base in the back of the notebook and never have to copy it again.

a nice thing to mention as well is the fact that my much loved Faber pencil fits in like a charm (at the bottom)

this notebook will remain the optimal setup for the coming time and will be improved over time by probably more categories and other handy things.

thanks again to my dad who had the right idea and the right place to search for this fantastic tool.

no open source HAd

it is a pitty, not because the design is so nice but because of the fact that governmental entities are so 20th century from time to time ... the answer to the question if i am allowed to open source the HAd that i wrote they told me that "it is not the way we do it here" ... so, no, i can't release it. sorry
