Using a Capture Notebook [Hidden Dragon BizBlog 1.2]

Tom Kelley has written a new book, and the team at Levenger seems pretty jazzed about it. Check out the mini-review where Kelley describes how he used his Circa notebook as a ubiquitous capture device:

I started capturing ideas on 3×5 cards, and although that method seems to work remarkably well for Tom Peters (at least seven international bestsellers so far), I personally found the size a bit small for this stage of the ideation process. I was dashing off quick notes, clipping quotes out of magazines, drawing diagrams to represent the ideas visually, and found myself eager to “color outside the lines” of the 3×5 format. I next experimented with large custom-made (and very labor-intensive) cards I cut from 8-1/2x 11 card stock, but they got unwieldy.

Finally, on The Ten Faces of Innovation, I tried the Levenger Circa notebooks in the junior size, turning them sideways and using the grid-style paper so I could write horizontally or vertically. It was perfect!

I will wait for Rasmussen to drop by and tell me what he thought of the book (if he’s read it). I am also going to need some of that grid paper for my new calendar/organizer.
