2011 Moleskine Weekly Vertical tweak

It's not enough of a hack to call it a hack, it's really just a small tweak.  But it could potentially make a big difference for me.

First, some background: you may remember my review awhile back of the 2011 Moleskine weekly vertical planner.  I love that the 2011 Moleskine planners now have monthly calendars with boxes large enough to write in.  I am always on the lookout for a planner with the following properties:

1) Weekly view with days as columns (Moleskine: check).

2) Monthly calendars with boxes large enough to write in (Moleskine: check).

3) Bound book (Moleskine: check).

4) Space for lists, notes, motivational quotes, etc. on the weekly pages (Moleskine... um, well let me just fix that).

Below is my solution, in my 2011 Moleskine Weekly Vertical planner (click on photo to enlarge):

I'll use the top half of the daily columns as my days.  Then below the Gap between 1 and 2 pm (Moleskine, really, I know you've made that space there due to the Sunday arrangement, but you could easily do away with it) I'll use those areas for my lists and notes.  I'll just ignore all the printed time markings top and bottom.

Here is a closeup of where I'll write my Weekly Goals, To Dos, and Phone/ Email lists.  In the space at the very bottom of the week I'll write the Motivational Quote Of The Week. (Click photo to enlarge.)

I like this idea a lot, but the only way I'll know if it will work for me is to actually try it out.  January will be a very planner-experimental month for me!

Will you be conducting any planner experiments in the new year?
