I do not know why Moleskine makes the monthly tabs so small in the pocket planner.  I find that when I write things out using initials or short cuts I can't remember what I wrote.  So this last months, I started to do something different-  I write Horizontal, but have turned the book Veritcal.  So I turn the planner and write in that direction.   I can't change the boxes because it would effect the layout.
