With the increased size also comes an increased sense of psychologicalcommitment, I think Plus the larger writing area, the greater numberof pages, the built-in accordian folder (well, on my Day Runner), andso on... it all conspires to make it a very all-in-one time management/ creative outlet / project tool. I also keep a small number ofHipster cards on the inside, for things like shopping lists and otherlists and notes that can (and should) be separated from themothership.
iCal printing on 3 5 index cards (Hipster PDA)…
I came across the hPDA concept when it came time to make a new planner and I was feeling resistant to doing so. I use 4x6 index cards, still have yearly/monthly/weekly calaendars in there, and then cards for a grocery list, "action items," time I've spent working, contact logs, etc. And then a section of blank cards that I use for notes from meetings, etc.
- archiving issue: have to set up a way to store/index cards (I keep my old planners for reference and will no doubt keep many of these cards around for a while); HOWEVER, this may help cut down on random half-filled notebooks, sheets of paper, etc., by having more of what I write down on 4x6s that can be filed in a single container
What I've done to make my hPDA much more servicible is bought a stand for it at Staples that includes a vertical slot for my planner wallet, a larger vertical slot for 3x5" cards (easily holds 200), and a business card ledge at the front that just so happens to hold a 1", 1", and 5/8" binder clip depending on how many cards I need to carry with me.
yellow tab - PT Tickler (I have my 4-day cycle calisthenic (2-days: whole body minus midsection, then midsection, i.e., core strength training), interval training (1-day), and stretching (1-day), physical training plan on 3x5" pre-printed cards horizontally and the next day's workout is always there for me to see... if I skip a day, not the end of the world because I know exactly where to start and it takes all of 2-minutes to get going... grab a card, circle the actual exercise on each line I'm gonna do, and start
pink tab - PT reference (extra PT choices beyond the next 4-days, sorted alphabetically... I have 4-broad calisthenic workout variations, actually, 2 using a mixture of calisthenics and Lifeline "flexible strands" or "chest expanders" and the other two pure calisthenic including chin-ups and variations where possible, one based on random exercises driven by a deck of cards) 2ff7e9595c
