Pocketmod

I've gotten a pocketmod compiler banged into good enough working shape to start using it routinely, and gotten remind banging out nice monthly calendars that I can read in pocketmod format if I squint at them, so I feel ready to start using them for real.

Which means I need to figure out exactly what I want on 8 little pages that I carry around in my pocket everywhere. I'm thinking c. 3 months worth of upcoming calendar, a lined page for notes, and . . .?

Any suggestions from anybody who's used these or anything remotely like them? What little bits of information are useful to always have on you, or what format of pages are good to be able to jot notes down on? How many months of calendar are really likely to be regularly useful to have on you? What should go on the outside pages which are probably most subject to wear? Depending on what's in there, how often should I print off a new one?

Things I had on mine, for the short time I used it:

This week (spans 2 pages - Mon-Wed on one, Thu-Sun on the other, with any calendar stuff on it).
2 x Inbox (lined, check boxes for crossing off when something is moved off the inbox into OmniFocus, my main task manager)
Outbox (same as inbox, but stuff I need to do while out and about)
This month
2 x Project page (has project name, project goal ("This project is complete when..."), wild success ("If this project is a wild success..."), and a nice big grid for planning stuff).

I have a pdf hanging around somewhere too.

Interesting, thanks.

Were any of them particularly useful/unused? Why did it not work out for you in the long run?

Inbox got used heaps, as did the week, and occasionally the project planning page. Month calendar not much (I don't need to know exact dates that much), outbox not much (I just forgot to check it).

These days my inbox is an hPDA, and my outbox is basically all available tasks in OmniFocus. Calendar is on my desktop, which I look at a lot more than I did my hPDA.
