Gotta love Muji

And you have to appreciate the sentiment: multifunction is not the same as multipurpose.

Still getting sparks of delight from true and pure insight. Hope all of you are as well.

It’s the simplest manifestation of what a day planner is all about: time on paper. The clocks occupy a small amount of space on the page and rest is completely flexible. You can write in your own dates at the top of each page, and you can treat the rest of the space like a blank page. Here’s are some words from the designer, Wong Kok Kiong:

Because of the numerous hours in a day (and various other constraints), the lines in a diary are typically very narrow. They are also usually equally distributed (somewhat). But our information is a hierarchy. Some are more important to us. Some we feel happier about. We want to highlight stuff that’s important to us. We want to write things that are more important in BIGGER sizes. Our lives cannot be so easily and clearly divided into equal parcels.

Ha, I just left him a comment! Picked up by Surtees and PSFK - awesome. When the MUJI store in Times Sq opened a few months ago, they were offering these to the first 500 shoppers or something. Love it.
