Field Notes

Nowadays everyone has a blackberry, iPhone, iPad, etc to write their ideas and to-do lists in...I do it too. But to me there's nothing like a hand written to-do list. Checking off or running a line thru each task as things get done (makes me feel good and ish). If we ever bump into each other, there's a good chance I have a notebook, post-it note, or something on me.

I love...LOVE these here notebooks from J Crew. At $10 for a pack of 3, you can't go wrong.

"Inspired by the vanishing subgenre of Midwestern design, old-fashioned pocket ledgers and the charming appeal of a well-edited to-do list, Field Notes are a refreshing break from high-tech handheld PDAs. Perfectly sized to pop in a back pocket, they're great for jotting down observations, reminders and inspirations of all kinds. Each soft-covered book comes with 48 pages of high-quality lined paper (read: no feathering or bleeding) and the back cover boasts a handy ruler and a list of "Practical Applications" for the notebook's use (Shady Transactions, Gambling Debts, Hymns/Prayers and Last Will and Testament, just to name a few)". - J Crew
