Circa Pocketster: A Business Card Sized Planner
Submitted by shb on Sat, 2006-12-09 21:54.
I've taken my obsession with business card size to new levels of hackitude and created a circa-bound "pocketster"! I've got pictures here on my website. I made several templates (in Microsoft publisher) and print them on business card stock. My schedule is weekly on two pages in landscape format. Other templates are vertical - grid, lined, mindmap, next actions, projects.
I also found "card bleachers" at Staples - cheap plastic business card holder, but it works. It's shown in the photos too.
I'm having way too much fun!
rock!
that kicks ass, props for all your hard work, and miniature hand writing, genius.
20/20 Vision?
You must have impeccable eyesight to use that thing!!

I don't actually write much smaller on this than I would on any other format, I just write less and use a lot of abbreviations. It's kinda fun to push planning to the (micro) limit.

I like the cover
What did you make it from ? It looks great.
cover
Before Levenger started doing Circa, I had already discovered Rollabind, and had gotten several notebooks with plastic covers. I cut one of them down to make the covers for my pocket planner. I wanted heavier weight covers than I would have been able to punch though.

Pocketster v2.0
I've made a few changes and additions to my Palm Pocketster: http://scoot2shoot.com/pocketster2/
I added Circadex covers, larger circa rings, better dividers, and a pen holder for the Silvertini pen. (I also have been playing with my templates.)
To make the dividers, I cut pieces of different colored plastic out of dividers intended for a letter-sized 3-ring binder. I made the pieces a little wider than the cards, and staggered their lengths. Now I can just (usually) feel with my fingers for whatever divider I want, grab it on either side, and flip open my Pocketster to the right section.
I made the pen holder out of a drinking straw that I cut to the right length and taped to the edge of another piece of plastic using clear packing tape.

Totally rocks. I wish I
Totally rocks. I wish I could mini-size; it's nice to know somebody can.
Extreme Planning
Yeah, it's called "Extreme Planning"!! I think we should start a new reality tv show! LOL.

It's easy when you know where to look
Here's two possibilities:
The Atoma note-size notebook is business card size or you could use the CircaDexâ„¢ Pocket Address Book
...and you can buy refills for either
