Jon’s hipster PDA 2/2
Contd.
“5. I soon discovered too that I could look at the next index card without turning a page. Instead, I rotate the top card by 90 degrees or more. This way, I was able to read quickly from one set of cards, and transcribe onto another set of cards quite easily.
6. Also, if I do turn a card like a page in a book, I can still rotate it away underneath the card stack quite well.
7. I have made a front and back cover out of spare white card. But this is very stiff and already I don’t like it. But I want to keep my card pack neat and clean. Also, I want to add a rubber band, to keep the card deck closed but that defeats the purpose of swapping to a ring. I want the cards to be free and open to use, but also closed and tidy when not in use! Maybe I need to make a pocket, and slip the cards in and pull them out by grasping the ring. I could have a place to store the pen in the pocket too.
8. I’m really excited by this change to binder rings. I had stopped writing in my hPDA because of the clip and started writing in a big journal book, but I don’t like the book. I have to read so many pages, or keep re-writing things. Now I want to re-start my hPDA and carry it all the time. I’m really interested in not just capturing ideas, but sorting them. My GTD weekly review is the next step.
That’s all for now.”
