Moleskine 2011 12 Month Project Planner: Black Soft Cover Pocket

I'm a software developer with a thing for project management and a fan of Moleskine notebooks.

I purchased this notebook last summer and had to wait until January 1st to make use of it since it contains January through December of 2010. I've been using the copy I purchased for a few weeks now at work to track which projects I work on each day, milestones for each project, and so on. I am extremely happy with it; so happy that I purchased another copy for home use.

Pros:
- The accordion foldout nature of the pages is very handy since each month is a set of two pages facing each other.
- It just feels cool to see a timeline in this physical form.
- Allows you to track a high-level overview of long-term projects, tasks, and milestones.

I'm always on the lookout for a good project planning tool, and have always wanted a calendar-type planner that lets me see my campaign overviews at a glance. This accordion-style planner from Moleskine is very useful for that, and helps me keep track of the overview of the different marketing and website campaigns I help to run.

My only gripe is that it's really tiny. It's a handy size, but you can't jot too much details in them. Nonetheless, I'll continue getting them, but I hope they can produce an A4 or A3 version!
