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

PS-if anyone likes the "visual" approach to brainstorming and problem solving, I found a great software program---by accident----that is very helpful when you run out of wall space! Program is called INSPIRATION and it's the best $70 I've ever spent. It's really a software program for 10-14 year old kids that need help organizing,planning. I found out about it from my 12 year old and now I use it for work all the time. It's very easy to use and documents created in this program convert instantly to Word and powerpoint. » POSTED IN:
