Let me start by including the Wikipedia entry for Moleskine which includes a great history of this style of notebook.

  1. A Squidoo Lens on Moleskine Hacks: While I'm just hitting some of the links that I find most useful, there are plenty of other Moleskine Hacks and resources out there. This Squidoo Lens is a great starting point for the uninitiated.
  2. 43 Folders: More Moleskine Hacks: This 43 Folders Wiki entry is another great starting point. It offers some of the basic hacks as well as a few jumping off points for those looking to customize their own system.
  3. Hacking a GTD Moleskine at hyalineskies: While I find some of the referencing tips a bit to formal for my needs, this hack is probably my favorite so far. It's relatively simple and yet looks highly effective.
  4. Mike's Moleskine Hacks: Mike's Hacks are some pretty straight forward steps to raising the productivity of you're Moleskine.
  5. PigPogPDA - A Moleskine Hacked into a Complete System: The PigPogPDA is one of the first fully developed systems I stumbled upon. While not really for me, it does provide some great ideas (I particularly like the concept of set margins) that serve as a solid framework for getting started.
  6. Loose Wire Blog: The Moleskine Multi-Tab Hack: If you're looking for a highly structured system this might be the place to start. The Multi-Tab Hack provided here has you setup a series of "divisions" in your Moleskine for relatively specialized goals.
  7. Rohdesign Weblog | Creating a Custom Moleskine Planner: My current goal with my Moleskine is to create something of a stream of consciousness journal. Besides taking down important notes and getting things done, I want to be able to look back a day or week and see what I may have been thinking about. If you're concentrating more on GTD or daily planning you might consider Rohdesign's Custom Planner for more structured day to day planning.
  8. Moleskine Pen Hack: On my Pocket Reporter the elastic band works great for holding my Fisher Space Pen in place. If you're using the regular book style, or a larger notebook, you may have a bit of trouble attaching a pen though. This Flickr gallery uses man's second best friend, duct tape, to create a relatively elegant pen holder right on the side of the notebook.
  9. Blistered Avalon's Moleskine Hacks: I like the concept that Blistered Avalon gives for color coding. It's simple but looks very effective.
