One daybook or two?

So I’m shortly going to fill yet another daybook.

I mainly split my time between two clients, with the odd visit elsewhere. Should I have one daybook for each? While one of the clients has security considerations, nothing of that sort goes into the daybook.

Both options have their seperate issues of convenience: with one daybook, it’s all in one place; with two each is in their seperate place. Two daybooks are more to carry round initially, but I wouldn’t fill each so quickly, so there’s a long term balance there.

What do you think?

Why not one, with a different color ink for each? That way you can tell where your available time is, and what you need to be doing for one when you’re trying to schedule the other.

Ah, it’s not an appointment diary - it’s a collection of jottings, notes, anything. For instance, I might have a list of user accounts on one page, details of a problem on which I’m working on the next page, and a list of switch ports and their destinations on the page after.

Well if nothing in the one has anything to do with anything in the other, then it doesn’t seem like that major a decision – flip a coin.

I was kind of looking for peoples’ experiences etc. Guess nobody’s bothered.

Seems like it might make sense to have one book with a divider tab so that you can have two separate sections, but just one book to carry around.

Maybe one of those multi-subject school notebooks would be good.

Well, I certainly keep different lab books for different projects, but there it’s more of an issue of having a permananet record. But in your case I’d still prefer to have them separate, I think. Then again, I never really need much of an excuse to buy more school supplies. My philosophy is: One Moleskine good, two Moleskines better. :slight_smile:
