An Avery 75254

Submitted by eafarris on Wed, 2005-11-09 21:32.

I use an Avery 75254 in the front of my binder as an inbox, and at the back of my binder to transport stuff home. I have a few more inboxes, though:

  1. a real-life bona-fide big ole' basket sitting on my desk, which must be cleared out during a weekly review;
  2. email. There is always email. Stuff that comes in from there goes directly onto a Next Actions form somewhere, or into
  3. DevonThink.

Multiple spots

Submitted by pchdwck on Thu, 2005-11-10 23:02.

First the front of my D*I*Y planner, and then my email box which both feed into a 3-slotted standup napkin-holder thingy with various folders in it.

My gerneral rule-of-stuff is, "handle it only once if at all possible," so the only things that are supposed to end up there are future things that can't be dealt with today.

How about a plain old legal

How about a plain old legal pad or notebook (such as a Moleskine?)

Yeah!

That's right - how about?

I use a Junior Legal pad with a clipboard. But that's not on the list......

As do I. When I get

Submitted by Evan JabberWokky E. (not verified) on Thu, 2005-11-10 17:49.

As do I. When I get interrupted, I rip off the top and move it up to a large side opening Rubbermade wiremesh inbox. When I have the inbox empty, I'm done (or I need to add more items).

All my context lists sit on 3x5 cards spread out over my desk to the far right.

I have a 3x5 pad at the back

I have a 3x5 pad at the back of my planner that I jot things down on. At the end of the day or when the sheet is full, I process them.
