After a year using this notebooks, I became a huge Moleskine fun and these are the reasons why I like them:

  1. Story: Humans like stories and Moleskine story is motivating. I’m saying the story because the real history could be a little different. Well, it’s another feeling and I compare it like using Mac (Molesking) vs a PC (simple notebook).
  2. Paper format: There are plain, ruled, square, pentagram, etc., etc. paper formats so you can have a notebook that fits your needs. I use plain paper format because I want to have all the freedom for writing notes, ideas, mindmaps, etc.
  3. Cover: You can can choose hard or soft cover so you can feel comfortable carrrying it and writing.
  4. Page marker and inner pocket: A page marker is always useful and inner pocket helps you to keep papers, post-its, etc. and is so useful.
  5. Size: Pocket, Large and Extra-Large notebooks are available. I always carry a pocket size notebook and I use a large size for mindmaps about conferences & books I read.

In conclusion, I use Molesking because it has a lot of features that motivate me for writing notes, ideas, etc. which is a great technique  I read from Pragmatic Thinking & Learning by Andy Hunt.
