As I mentioned yesterday, I’m currently on vacation, so this coming week the content will be limited. To kick things off I thought I would recap the first three installments of our ongoing series on Notebook Systems. I’ve been extremely happy with the reaction so far to what I hope to be a comprehensive “guide” once completed. These recent posts include:

Guide to Notebook Systems, Part I: What Is a Notebook System/System Techo? The first post is an overview of what I consider a “Notebook System” to be, how I use them, and the general goals of the series. Start here!
Guide to Notebook Systems, Part II: Plotter Is NOT a Planner. This installment specifically looks at the popular “Plotter” System Techo, which arrived from Japan last year and exploded in popularity at this year’s San Francisco Pen Show. Note that the Plotter store still has stock of the 5th Anniversary Limited Edition Bible Size cover in Olive Green (and other accessories). I received mine literally 10 minutes before I left the house and will be setting it up while I’m away.
Guide to Notebook Systems, Part III: Traveler’s Notebook and the “Modular Approach”. The latest installment looks at one of my favorite systems, Traveler’s Notebook, and similar “modular” systems that allow you to combine multiple notebook inserts and accessories with a single cover.
