Hello there! My name is Hawk Sugano. I have been introducing my information handling method on the flickr. Here I would like to describe some more detailed methodology.
Through out this blog, I introduce some simple principles to keep stress-free accumulation of information by using Index Cards and a box called “Dock“. I call it “Pile of Index Cards“, or more simply “PoIC“. As a number of cards grow, the system become own knowledge database. Then we are ready to reproduce higher wisdom.
I write this blog not in Japanese, my mother language, but in English because I would like to share information and experience with people all around the world. Comment, question, suggestion on my flickr pictures, blog articles, and wiki is all time welcome.
I’m happy if I could provide you some hints and tips to improve your daily life! :)
Best,
Hawk Sugano a.k.a hawkexpress

[…] Meu sonho é ser realmente organizada. Amo ficar no Flickr olhando fotos de projetos de organização… Já tentei o GTD, mas me perdi no meio do caminho. O negócio de fazer uma revisão semanal do sistema (Weekly Review) nunca rolava… aí, já viu. Também tentei o Pile of Index Cards (PoIC), mas por pouco tempo. Estou lendo o “First Things First” do Stephen Covey, mas não sei se vou usar a matriz com os quadrantes, apesar da ideia de separar as coisas por prioridades ser muito interessante (você separa as coisas como sendo: 1. Urgente e importante; 2. Importante, mas não urgente; 3. Urgente, mas não importante e 4. Não urgente nem importante). […]

PoIC/43Tabs is the Citroën 2CV of organisation:
1. Inexpensive
2. Simple, focused, essential
3. Low maintenance, reliable, robust
4. Better mileage (productivity)
5. You either love it, or you don’t understand it
