I suppose you could really add any kind of envelope as a pocket, but I like the clear plastic CD pockets because they fit well and hold up to a year's worth of rough use. Glad it was helpful to you!

I've been missing pockets in my books, and hadn't even thought of CD pockets for adding one, Brilliant! Thanks to the commenter Joy, above!

Or I use paper clips and binder clips in my Quo Vadis Planner to try and keep track of the various calendars so I can flip quickly between the annual, monthly, and daily. For the Clairefontaines, I prefer the staple bound and fold them back on themselves, then use a smaller clip to hold them so I can transcribe my writing onto my computer. My biggest difficulty is transcribing from the thicker notebooks. Holding them open so I can type requires anything from a rubber band [which bows the covers], to binder clips, to trying to invent a book bungee like Levenger's by using loops of ribbons. Clipping and unclipping the pages as I type is a pain. Two loose rubber bands are close to what I need. I have fantasies about soft cover notebooks similar to the Habana, but with 2 bands to hold the pages open, yet let me slip them out quickly to flip the page.
