Comments on: Mental Wandering http://www.ceaselessone.com/student/2007/07/mental-wandering/ Things I learn while living life as per usual Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:44:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Boris Dieseldorff http://www.ceaselessone.com/student/2007/07/mental-wandering/comment-page-1/#comment-33 Boris Dieseldorff Tue, 10 Jul 2007 05:44:00 +0000 http://www.ceaselessone.com/student/?p=74#comment-33 I actually can explain. Moleskines are really nice. They have very durable bindings (survives 9 months in my pocket with other stuff in the same pocket every day). They open flat to any page (Huge! you don't find this in cheap notebooks). They use nice paper. These things aren't big deals.<br/><br/>Here's the big point to take home. It costs me $10 to buy a Moleskine (instead of say a $1 spiral pocket notebook). I use this Moleskine, say, a dozen times a day, for 9 months. That all totals less than half a cent for each use. This is negligible.<br/><br/>Anything that makes my life easier for more than half a year is considered extremely affordable at $10. The only notebooks that hold their own against Moleskines tend to be more expensive. I once considered a $40 one that was weather resistant. Then I decided that was stupid.<br/><br/>Hope that helps.

Here’s the big point to take home. It costs me $10 to buy a Moleskine (instead of say a $1 spiral pocket notebook). I use this Moleskine, say, a dozen times a day, for 9 months. That all totals less than half a cent for each use. This is negligible.

Anything that makes my life easier for more than half a year is considered extremely affordable at $10. The only notebooks that hold their own against Moleskines tend to be more expensive. I once considered a $40 one that was weather resistant. Then I decided that was stupid.

Hope that helps.
