Even though I class myself as a pretty good ‘tech’ guy, I still love and I mean LOVE taking notes by hand. I carry around a Moleskin most of the time, but that also means I have to bring a pen with me, too.

Having this is awesome. I agree, however, that the $100 price tag is a little rich for what it is. Saying that, I am definitely going to get a Wenger. After going through the site, I am very happy to say it will be easier than usual to get stuff to the Philippines – they just started shipping here.

Thanks for the awesome content as always Andre.

We can control the conditions for focusing on a single task by eliminating distractions, but internally, there’s a limit to how much we can control our stream of consciousness by an act of will. Certain thoughts will enter regardless of where attention is consciously directed. Suddenly remembering an unrelated task that needs to be done, thinking about an argument from an hour ago, interruptions from phone calls and coworkers — none of these things were intentional thoughts, but they can persist despite our attempts to focus on a task unless we capture them. Intentionally trying not to think about something is thinking about it. Capturing a stray thought into an external system is one way to close the loop, but it does require the having the established habit of processing what’s been collected, otherwise it’s not a trusted system.
