David Seah on wall-based productivity pr0n
Merlin Mann | Nov 28 2006
David Seah : Gifts for Hardcore Productivity Nuts: Magnatag Visible Systems David Seah explores a treasure trove of lo-fi productivity pr0n, as provided by the vertical-surface-loving folks at Magnatag. A couple of the items he covers: > I like the name of the Do-Done StepTracker, and I love the idea of “flip the magnetic button over to switch from to-do to done” functionality. Elegant and effective! > > Ok, I listed this one before, but now there’s a video showing just how the RotoGraph® Long Range Daily Line Item Planner actually works. It’s one continuous scrolling surface that you can write your schedule on, kind of like a real-world version of Excel with locked sheet cells. Very sexy. I wish I had more walls. I've been having my own one-man whiteboard renaissance lately with my new Pinnacle II Magnetic Dry-Erase Communication Board. I picked up a couple of these at Costco for only 20 bucks each (which is about half what these kinds of things usually cost). Combined with some fine-tipped dry erase markers and a stack of Post-it Index Cards, you have a powerful brainstorming tool at your disposal. Got some lo-fi productivity pr0n you've been loving lately? 32 Comments

Don't be too quick to judge them. They have a link at the top of their site for US Federal Government purchasers. I wouldn't be surprised if they're locking their website to you "filthy foreigners" because of some goofball requirement of the government. After all, we wouldn't want all those foreign terrorists to see how the government stays organized, right? If you apply for access, don't be surprised if you wake up in some CIA holding cell, being questioned as to why you applied to see the top-secret whiteboards. » POSTED IN:
