Interesting post. I came across this blog by accident, but it was a good accident. I have now bookmarked your blog for future use. Best wishes. Cara Wakelin.

They’re like a check register. If I spent $5 at McDonald’s then I would put “McDonald’s” in the “who” field. In the “why” field I might put “self-inflict GI distress” or maybe “lunch”

The category field I personally don’t use much - if I write a check I put the check number there. If I was really together and with-it I might try to categorize my expenses, but I’m usually not that organized.

Actually I saw this method of folding a sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ paper first on the web site: http://pigpog.com/node/1078 under a posting called “Cheapster PDA” which was popular right around the time Merlin Mann’s Hipster PDA really took off in the public conscious.

I thought it was a very interesting way to fold up a little booklet from a single sheet of paper, and I set out to make something more useful for me than just a blank booklet. This MiLO was born and shortly afterword FiLO to track financial transactions.

I’ve checked out the PocketMod site and it’s pretty interesting - MiLO and FiLO work perfectly for me and hopefully for others like myself. There is a place in the world for both I think - they each have plusses and minuses! Keep up expanding the pages available for PocketMod - I really like the auto-genrated Sudoku page - man that’s an addictive game!

This is the origin of this technique. Much more flexible system. Select your own pages, and there’s even an downloadable customizer to create your own pages.
