I want to share this little tidbit with readers of NWD, not because I think this is particularly clever, but because it is a simple but useful little trick. If you are an owner of a Moleskineⁱ Traveler notebook case, or have a carrier case with similarly designed pen slots you may want to try this. I have always had trouble carrying real pencils with me away from home - if you put a nice sharp pencil in one of these types of pen slots the points usually end up poking through the fabric, or the pencil point breaks off.
