Low Tech GTD
Another creative approach to a “low Tech” GTD solution is provided by Alain Badiou at Gathering In Light. His approach is a interesting twist on the Hipster PDA using a small Moleskine notebook. Alain turns an unsuspecting little notebook into a highly organized, pocket sized productivity tool.
With some simple materials:
- Moleskine notebook
- Index cards
- Rubber-band
- Eraser
- Stickies
- Sticky flags
You too can create a Moleskine PDA. Take a look at Alain’s post and directions for the PDA creation.
A couple weeks back I stumbled upon what seems like a small culture of people who have backed away from the “pure paperless ideology.” They are using small notebooks (Moleskines) to manage the tasks and projects in their lives. I’ve researched a bunch of various methods and learned a little about the “Getting Things Done (GTD)” method so that I could come up with a hack of my own and one that would work well for the life of a student doing research.I am not uber organized so this is not natural for me. It took me some time reading and brainstorming how I could make system that would be work for my needs. But I am beginning to think that I work best with paper and pencil as my primary mode of keeping track of things…….
