Marvellous Moleskine

Sloth Ethic is a "blog about not getting things done" and author shares his thoughts on note keeping as a pastime.

"If you do succumb to writing in it, do not worry, all is not lost. Scribbling in a moleskine is a tremendous alternative to doing anything productive – if the urge strikes you to get something done, then simply spend a few minutes, or hours, outlining your project plans in your new notebook. You’ll need some detailed brainstorming, several mind maps, a list of spin-off projects, a list of things that you’ve thought of during that you maybe want to write down anyway, a list of possible names that you could call a dog should you find one that’s really not that keen on walking, a picture of a dog, a picture of a dog which you can draw without the pen leaving the paper, a picture of a cat because you don’t want to leave them out because they are truly the gods of sloth and you want to appease Bastet – and lo…the urge to do something productive has drifted away like dandelion seeds in a freshening breeze..."

How true. Depending on the day my Moleskine can be either a humming hub or productivity or the toy that keeps me from getting things done.
