According to The phrase Finder the “worm” quote simply means: Success comes to those who prepare well and put in effort. And its Origin:
was first recorded in John Ray's A collection of English proverbs 1670, 1678: "The early bird catcheth the worm."

Clearly, the title of the work indicates that this was considered proverbial even in the 17th century.

So come in and “catcheth” your ” Agendas, Organizers, Daytimers soon!

I'm not writing it down to remember it later, I'm writing it down to remember it now, with FIELD NOTES

     
Inspired by the vanishing subgenre of agricultural memo books, ornate pocket ledgers and the simple, unassuming beauty of a well-crafted grocery list. Always keep one in a pocket, or purse to have ready for your inspired thoughts. Sit back on the beach and jot down a love poem to the sunset, or design your get a way home in the woods. Or simply for making the grocery list and to do list. 48 pages, and durable with saddle-stiched binding.
 
Here's a quote from a satisfied Field Notes user:

"I've tried lots of different small notebooks. Field Notes are the best ones I've found, small and thin enough to really have with you all the time, in a shirt or pants pocket. I've carried them for over a year, and my small notebook is used every day for ideas, shopping lists, account numbers/passwords (coded, of course), design sketches, references.

I am now laminating the covers with simple self-seal lamination sheet to lengthen the life of the cardboard cover."

--John C. Moore
