Steve Osborne’s article, Ultimate Note-Taking: Capture Text, Audio and Visual Notes, provides some good pointers on taking good notes using audio, images, and handwritten notes.

A few weeks ago I sent Moleskine a picture of a small defect in a large notebook. It’s still usable, but the cover material was not properly affixed.
Today, I received a replacement notebook mailed from Italy. A lot of companies could learn from this simple form of customer service. This company understands that while building their brand is important, building a relationship with the customers is more important.
I use a lot of the large squared Moleskine notebooks. Sometimes I need to mark sections of the book for easy reference. Those little half grid-squares at the outside edge of the page are ready made for the purpose.
I use my razor sharp pocket knife and cut a few of the partial grid-squares away on the edge of 4 or 5 pages to mark the start of a section. I usually make this inverted tab about 4 or 5 grid-squares long and use a Pilot Hi-Tec-C to label it. If I don’t need to label the inverted tab, then I just use a single hole punch to make the inverted tab.
For less permanent markers I use book darts.
