My Planner for 2011: The 3.5" X 5.5" Moleskine Weekly Notebook Diary/Planner

While not really a sketchbook, I am pretty sure I'll end up doodling a bit on my new Moleskine Weekly Notebook diary/Planner 2001 that I picked up at Borders.
This particular planner was made in China.
The 4 sheets of fun adhesives labels included in its back pocket along with a tabbed pages insert.
My new planner on top of last year's for size comparison. I would have preferred to get the larger size again, but I took too long in picking one up. I do like its layout of having the whole week on the left page and a ruled page on the right for more detailed notes.
While this small size planner might not have been my first choice, I think it will work alright with a micro tip gel pens like the Pentel Slicci 0.3 mm. The 0.7 mm Uni-ball Signo-Bit pen laid down a rather thick line for such a small page size, so I think I will have to stick to 0.4 mm pen tips or smaller pens for writing in this compact planner. While featuring less writing and doodling room, it should provide greater portability. Might just need to revisit my short-hand code from the college years. We shall see.
