Goal & Idea Tracking: The 'ideas and goals' section provides a dedicated space to brainstorm future projects, set personal targets, or track habits. Break down larger goals into weekly actions and note them on the weekly spread.

Your Moleskine diary is ready to use right out of the box. Simply open it to the current week and begin planning. You may wish to:
Fill out the 'In Case of Loss' notice: Complete the designated section on the front endpaper with your contact information to aid in its return if misplaced.
Familiarize Yourself: Take a moment to browse the yearly calendar, international holidays, and specialized planning sections (travel, ideas & goals) to understand their layout and purpose.
Apply Stickers: Use the included stickers to pre-mark significant dates, recurring events, or personal milestones throughout the year.
This diary is highly compatible with a wide range of writing instruments. For optimal results on the 70 g/m² paper, consider:
Ballpoint pens: Generally perform well with minimal ghosting.
Gel pens: Look for quick-drying formulas to avoid smudging.
Fine-liner pens: Excellent for detailed notes and outlines.
Pencils: Any standard pencil will work well and allow for easy corrections.
Note: While the paper is high-quality, very wet inks (e.g., some fountain pen inks, heavy markers) may exhibit some ghosting or bleed-through. Test a discreet area first if unsure.
Proper care will ensure your Moleskine diary remains in excellent condition throughout the year:
Protect from Elements: Keep the diary away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent paper yellowing or cover damage.
Handle with Care: Avoid excessive bending or creasing of the softcover, as this can affect its shape over time. Do not pull the elastic closure or ribbon bookmark forcefully.
Cleaning: If the softcover gets dirty, gently wipe it with a dry or very slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture.
Storage: When not in use, store your diary flat to maintain its shape, especially if carrying it in a bag where it might be compressed.
