Thanks for posting this. I was running out of ideas on becoming a more organized person. I shall have to re-evaluate what is right for me.

Thanks for the feedback. This was originally going to be a two part series, but I keep coming up with new questions. Rolf’s post gave me different angles to look at things.

I was so happy when I realized that I didn’t need anything fancy to get all my actions out of my head. I just found some paper I like (bright yellow) and cut it into quarters. I scribble what I’m thinking on these and use binder clips to group them. I no longer worry about wasting index cards with random thoughts because I’m essentially using scrap paper and I love being able to physically sort them… and toss them in the recycle bin when I’m done!

James, I just love these kinds of posts, thank you! Looking forward to the upcoming parts of this series. Besides the technical and style questions, we might also consider our values and how the system reflects them; the stability and longevity we'd like to achieve, the standards we'd like to employ, or the barriers that an inappropriate (though maybe stylish) system can impose on us. I've blogged on these issues on a more generic level at my blog.
