Moleskine Agenda ... and why you NEED one.

I've blogged about this precious little device before. An 18 month, weekly agenda.

Now, this is not like any other agenda. And it's not like using the calender on your phone and calling yourself "organized".

No. This agenda is perfectly organized, which is a very hard (but necessary) thing to find in a product of this type. The left page has Sunday-Monday separated into boxes. The right page is lined for notes.

Student's could do something like this:
(left page) Monday: Stats Homework
(right page) Monday: Read chapters 20, 24, 27. Answer questions 1-19, 22 in Chapter 20.

Business people could do something like this:
(left page) Monday: Meeting with P&G
(right page) Monday: 70 King Street West. Turn Left on Bay. 11:00 sharp. Bring resume and computer.

SEEEEEEE????

It allows you to have a structured, simple understanding of what is going on on the left page. Followed by a more detailed layout on the right. This ensures that you stay organized and on top of everything. My girlfriends and I ALLLL use one (thanks LV for introducing me to this lifesaver!!) We even use gel-pens and high-ligthers to ensure that we have things color coded.

Pick one up today!! (Chapters and most book store/supply stores will carry this brand).

Approx. $25 and worth every penny!

Michael Kors Hamilton Tote

I recently purchased this tote as my new "work" bag. The structured-ness make's it seem professional, while still allowing enough room for everything I could possibly need to carry.
The design is chic, sharp, and very business-appropriate. I would HIGHLY recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for a classic purse to bring to the office.

Here are some suggestions of "business-appropriate" things to make sure you carry in the bag:
-Moleskine Agenda (see above blog)
-pens, duh. and maybe some highliters if you really want to be taken seriously.
-cell phone
-note pad
-lipstick (yes lipstick is corporate. It makes any outfit seem more office-ready). Wear it.

I got the black one, because black means business.
