Moleskine Memo Pocket

Filed under: lifehack — April 6, 2005

My second lifehack tip is for storing receipts while traveling on business. My solution is the Moleskine Memo Pocket book. Unlike the other Moleskin’s, which you can actually write in, this tiny book only has pockets (six, actually.)

At the end of each day I put all of my receipts into a pocket in the Moleskine. If I’m traveling for under a week, I use a different pocket per-day. For heavier traveling, I use one pocket per-week, or per-city. And even though the book is small, you can jam a whole lot of paper in there and still close it!

Thanks for the reply Ganzo. If you’re asking why I keep the receipts, it’s for tracking business and travel expenses. The U.S. tax system requires keeping a record of money spent on business trips, and it’s much easier to organize it if you can keep the receipts in order (and in one place) while traveling. Using the “Memo Pocket” I can store and sort all the paperwork until I get back to the office.

Found the same moleskine memo by chance in Seattle near Belltown neighborhood. It is a great organizer for tracking receipts and also cash spending on business trip. I bought just one at the store but will get another one to keep my receipts in order between each city as you indicated. I even put my regular size paper hotel receipt in them. It stored a weeks worth of receipt without bulging. Great item…

A few books I'm reading now:

A few books I'd recommend:

Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science by Charles Wheelan -- A fantastic overview of the field of Economics. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book.
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson -- a true tale of scientific thinking throughout history. You'll be amazed by how much we still don't know.
Freakonomics [Revised and Expanded]: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner -- a fun read offering a somewhat different way of looking at society. Answers questions like "Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?", and what qualities in a parent matter for the success of a child later in life?
Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity by David Allen. I'm a bit of a GTD freak since reading this, but productivity == $$ (whether you can simply get more work done in a given time, or work less by focusing on the right tasks.)

Recently read books:

"JavaScript: The Good Parts" -- A thin book with some good best-practices, but a little disappointing. Perhaps it's JavaScript's fault, not the author's ;-)
"Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks" -- Good overview of usability issues in designing HTML forms, backed by examples and eye-tracking research. I bought the digital edition, which was slightly cheaper. (You can use code: WFDDE to get an extra 10% off any purchase on the publisher's site.)
"What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful" by Marshall Goldsmith -- Discusses interpersonal skills (and how to identify and fix them) that most commonly hold executives back in their career advancement.
"The Simplicity Survival Handbook: 32 Ways To Do Less And Accomplish More" -- Lesson: Cut the corporate B.S. and stop wasting your time. Focus only on what matters most.
"Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High" -- Lessons on handling tough conversations: firing people, relationship problems, hostage negotiations (well, maybe not that last one.) Wasn't an exciting read, but I've been paying more attention to "turning points" in conversations since reading it.
"Watchmen" -- Graphic novel to be released as a feature film in 2009.
"The Unwritten Laws of Business" -- Very short. Flip through it at a book store before buying. If you already have corporate work experience you can probably skip this one.
"How to Win Friends & Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. -- Classic book on being friendly to people to get your way.
"The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done" -- I really enjoyed this one. It's about the value of picking the right things to work on... the things that matter to your organization, and that fit with your strengths.
"Practical Django Projects" -- Lessons in building reusable ("pluggable") Django applications. Assumes you know the basics of Django and Python.
"Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People 2nd Edition" -- I really enjoyed this one. Lots of suggestions and strategies for negotiating.
