To detanglement and beyond...
There's been quite a bit of buzz in the blogosphere about the hipster PDA. What praytell is this you say? It's basically a lo-fi handheld device for note taking (aka a pad of paper and pen). Yes, retro has come full circle and Palm is definitely sunk. I've oft wondered to myself, why oh why would someone go to the Franklin Covey, drop a lot of cash for calendar pages with little cartoon themes on them. I know, people want to be organized, but that's a lot of dough to drop on organized. I used to carry around a little plastic box with a pen and pad of paper and my own little filing system. It was like a beginner's DIY Getting Things Done. It was cool for a while, but the bulkiness eventually got to me (anyone who knows me, knows that I hate bulky pocket hogs or even worse...things that need to be held in my hand while I walk around). I've been scribbling ideas, notes, to do lists on whatever I could find ever since. The problem is that I'd go down the list and cross things out, but I'd always leave a few things that would not be finished. Then I'd transfer them to a new piece of scrap paper and add more items. It sort of works, but I think I'm going to take a look at Getting Things Done to see if I can improve my "things-to-do to done" ratio. And of course, I'll need a little note card system courtesy of a million monkeys typing » D*I*Y Planner Hipster PDA Edition. Thank you, Douglas.

I have so much Lego envy right now. I have a medium sized box full of Legos, but they're all mixed up. I'd love to have a nice setup like this dude.
Guest Check PDA: closed
Originally uploaded by atduskgreg.
This is a clever variation on the Hipster PDA that I picked up over on the HPDA wiki page. Use a cheapie, pocket-sized pad of restaurant “Guest Checks” to take notes. The hack is to use the kind with old-school carbon copies, so you’ll always have an archival copy of any notes you take.
