Indexcard Survey @ San Francisco, CA
I have been to San Francisco to attend meeting. In my spare time, I walked around Moscone Convention Center. I tried to look for an indexcard.
I found a stationery store close to the SFMOMA. The indexcards occupy a corner. There are 5×3, 6×4, and larger index card available. What is curious for me is there are a lot of colors, blue, yellow, red indexcards. I could find plain and ruled indexcard. Same time, I disappointed that I couldn’t find quadrille card in the store.
I found Office Depo, too. I could find indexcard with “Office Depo” brand. The price is relatively cheeper. This time I could find quadrille card from the “Office Depo” brand. But it is enough to make me surprise.

I’m not sure if it is different in Japan, but in the US, it is ‘Office Depot,’ not ‘Office Depo.’
Cheers!

Hard to find (impossible?) high quality 5 x 3 quadrille index cards in the U.S. Kinokuniya in San Jose, San Francisco have CORRECT brand index cards, but NO QUADRILLE, only lined. OXFORD brand quadrille (available many places) cards are some kind of joke–1mm thick blue lines, start of grid varies from card to card, etc. Bah! Better off using blank white card, use a template to align card type box code. Plain white card is arguably better than grid–no restrictions ;)
By the way, I have tweaked PoIC/43Tabs system thus: love to use Filofax Pocket Executive (corresponds to Japanese MINI size agenda–like DaVinci or Maruman); I have six-hole punch, so guess what? I keep 10-15 punched blank 5 x 3 index cards in my Filofax, which also has week-on-a-page calendar. Or I keep 5 operational index cards, 10 blanks, etc. All in one place, and can still be filed in my dock after completion.
