One Letter sheet per inbox item?
sud0n1m | May 1 2007
Im currently on chapter 5 in GTD. I've been using actiontastic to capture inbox items and lists on pieces of paper. What I don't get is that one letter size piece of paper per idea seems like huge wastage! Is letter size critical here? Is there any reason not to quarter a piece of letter paper and capture each item like that? I love the idea of GTD, but the paper waste seems.. well... wasteful! 7 Comments

 Why not try index cards?Submitted by Chrome47 on May 1, 2007 - 3:45pm.
Hey, welcome to 43 Folders. The idea behind putting one thing on a page is to keep yourself from getting distracted by lots of other things. Quartering or halving your paper should work just fine. I think this is why 3 x 5 index cards have really caught on with this crowd: you can easily put just one or two items (or a small list) on one card and not feel like you're wasting space. Then when you're done with that item, you just flick it into the trash can, or have the satisfaction of tearing it in half as you toss it away. » POSTED IN:
