Two-Sided hPDA?

Do any of you print it/use it on both sides? Or does that just make it more complicated to deal with?

I've been trying out a two-sided hPDA for a couple of weeks now and like it.

But instead of printing the same thing on both sides I print a "Next Actions" layout on one side, and the other side just has my contact info at the bottom.

If I've started a NA card and need to jot some some more notes or need more room I just start in on the other side. Or if I need to jot something down and give to someone I do so on a new card on the partially blank side.

I guess I originally started this to try and cut down on the amount of cards I was carrying around with me. I had a bunch of cards that just had my contact info printed on one side, and a bunch of blank NA cards.... just decided to combine the two.

It has actually been a pretty good conversation starter. When I give someone one that I've jotted something down for them on and they flip it over they are like.. what is this "Next Action" business.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
