As I move from a list- and task-based Remember the Milk personal organization system toward a more robust, GTD-focused system using OmniFocus , I’m realizing that I need a better tool for universal capture than I currently have in my iPhone. Yes, I can use Twitter or email to send myself tasks to do later, but this is slow and awkward in a work setting.

I stopped carrying a Moleskine reporter notebook a few months ago because it was too bulky and it had to share a pocket with my also-bulky AT&T 8525 smartphone.

Now, I’m using an iPhone, which is considerably thinner and shaped more like the Moleskine notebook, so they cohabit well in my pocket. Andrew Mason even has a solution for carrying a pencil in your Moleskine.

I’ve found it essential to have a tool to record to-do items with me 100% of the time. I’ve been slipping on my follow-through since I stopped carrying the Moleskine, so I’m glad to welcome it back into the arsenal of pocket gear I carry with me. My ’skine of choice is the ruled reporter.

It’s rumored that OmniGroup will be releasing an iPhone interface for OmniFocus next month, but I’ll have to see if it’s actually any faster to type tasks into the iPhone than it is to hand write them in the Moleskine and transcribe them later.

Beyond speed, though, there’s no denying that writing something in a Moleskine just looks classy, which partially explains the cult of Moleskinerie.
