Index Card Hacks

I love index cards. I'd like to blame Merlin Mann and his hipster PDA for this obsession, but I don't use a hipster PDA and still I find myself unable to pass the index card rack at Office Depot without stopping for a look. Index cards provide a sturdier alternative to notepad paper, making them ideal for "throwaway" notes like directions or phone numbers -- notes I'll need… Continue reading

The Power of Good Old Checklists

I left my house for work this morning, knowing that I'm going to go from the office into a whole other world: PodCamp. So, I had to have everything read, because I wasn't coming home. I said to myself, fleetingly, I should write a checklist. I didn't. So far, here's what I forgot:

DIY Planner Wants Writers!

I do a lot of writing about productivity, self-improvement, and creativity. Some of it, I put here. Some of it, I put on my own site, and then some more, I put over at D*I*YPlanner.com, which is a great site with all kinds of great stuff, like downloadable planner pages for your paper planner of choice (including Hipster PDA, I might add!). Well, Doug's wife just had a baby, and between… Continue reading
