So aparently I'm so bored that I'm going to take my well-working GTD system and rebuild it.

I'm starting with the following:

1 Plain Pocket Moleskine

1 Pocket Weekly Calendar Moleskine with the removable contacts booklet.

a bunch of 3x5 cards.

The front of the Plain Pocket Moleskine will act as my Ubiquitous Capture Device. I have a little insert that acts as a blotter page and yearly calendar. It has a little red tab at the top. When the tab is above the top of the Moleskine, that means I have inbox items to process. When processed, the tab is lowered and invisible. Seeing that little red tab up makes me WANT to go process.

The plain pocket moleskine will also hold my projects lists in the back along with my Someday Maybe list. I leave an extra full leaf for each project category and for the Someday Maybe list. I don't do a lot of full project analysis. I just keep a list of the names of each project I'm working on. I won't have a "Waiting For" list but I never really kept mine up to date anyway.

The 3x5 cards will work as my contextual next-action lists. These lists really need to be loose leaf instead of bound in a book. I go through them so fast that I can't really expect a bound Moleskine alone to keep up. I don't know the best way to hold these. Right now they're just tucked into the front of my main Moleskine but I'm considering one of these Levenger man handpurses:

It can hold all my wallet crap along with my action lists. It seems a bit snobby - like most things from levenger - but it would get two of the items in my pockets down to one.

Lastly, I'll have the Plain Weekly calendar. It will let me have a full year's worth of pages in which to write meetings, tickler info, birthdays, and other date-based info. These weeky planners also come with a really wonderful tool - a back-pocket insert tabbed contacts booklet. It isn't very big but it does the job pretty well.

So this whole system includes the basic tenants of a GTD system: Projects, Action Lists, Maybe Somedays, Calendars, and Contacts; and it can be held among two Moleskine-sized books in ones pockets. That's a big improvement over a huge day planner.

When I get the whole system together, I'll likely write about it on my blog and take some most excellent GTD productivity porn pics...

Here's a question to ponder. Besides the Hipster PDA, what is a good elegant way to keep track of lists that expand in both size and number in a paper-based device that one can keep in one's pocket?
