Hope you went with the Circa. When I got on the GTD bandwagon last year, I kept fiddling and fiddling and trying new pens/notebooks/folders, etc. Until I got a Circa for my birthday and I've never looked back. I even sprung for the punch. But it's a one-time expense, because then you can DIY your paper and print out your calendar from the computer and punch it and keep going, which ends up making it cheaper in the long run. Love it.
