In response to Laura’s question – I did check out the one large Borders store we are lucky enough to have in this county in the U.K. with no luck. I think it’s at Borders that I have previously seen Moleskines for sale, and discounted them at that time due to being double the cost of any other brands.

We have no Barnes and Noble in the U.K. Our largest (and possibly only) high street stationer is Staples. Other stationery supplies in a more minor way are sold through our book stores / news agents.

I’m resolved that one day, my moleskine shall come – and if I see it, I should buy it.

Awesome post!

I do have one sort-of dumb question. In your search for a Moleskine, did you happen to check any big-box bookstores? I know my local Barnes and Noble and Borders stores have entire stationary sections that include a large rack of different Moleskine notebooks that I usually spend 10 minutes drooling over. YYMV, of coruse.

Every time I go “official” with a system, my ideas dry up.

I used to get ideas in the shower, with no way to write things down. So I put a notebook and pen right outside the shower. Since then, no more ideas while soaping up.

I used to get ideas while driving, with no way to write things down. Not without getting myself killed. I put a digital voice recorder in the car. Nice and handy. Since then, no more ideas while commuting.

I used to get ideas while falling asleep, with no way to jot things down quickly. I would have to get up, walk into the study, snapping on lights as I went, stumbling over the dog, who would then think it was time to go out for a walk. By the time I arrived at the shambles I call my desk and found a scrap of paper and a pen, the idea would be a memory. So I put a pen and notebook right next to my clock on my nightstand. Since then, no more ideas while waiting for sheep to count.

Seems like I need conflict to get ideas flowing again, so I’m taking away all the easy and convenient ways I have to record my ideas. Maybe that will work.
