This is the first of my low-tech solutions in a high tech life. Expect to see more.

I like to visit 43folders.com which is about personal productivity, life hacks, and simple ways to make your life a little better. One of those simple ways to make your life better is to use a bound notebook for, guess what, taking notes! I'm not talking about a spiral bound notebook, but a hard bound book with ruled pages and a ribbon for marking your loaction that I always considered useful for personal dairies or journals. However, they are idea for taking notes. I was an avid notetaker in college and need to get back in that habit.

Notebook computers can be cumbersome even though they continue to shrink in size and those that are handhelds are difficult to type on. Laptops are not that easy to use on your lap and can get downright hot. In addition, batteries die and there is not always an outlet where you need it one.
