Doin' it on paper
ozhuner | May 23 2006
This one goes out to all of you who are keeping it together on paper, hipster, index cards or whatever. My question relates to living in a digital world while using pen and paper to track your tasks and projects. I'd like to know what your experience is like, given that so much of our information comes to us via email or the web. So much of the information related to (my) tasks comes in email, for example. Do you re-write information on your cards or in your pen and paper system, that originated in email? Do you find this a good thing mentally or a pain? If you do use paper and pen to manage your tasks, then do you also use an electronic system? Do you print out electronic stuff and add to it with pen and then enter hand-written tasks? Basically, I'm interested in knowing how people who work with paper and pen deal with their information that arrives electronically. Thanks in advance for your insights! 12 Comments

 Keeping it togetherSubmitted by ozhuner on May 24, 2006 - 3:11pm.
Interesting observations. Guessing that some of you are using 2 systems, one electronic and one paper to organize your activities. The pen and paper system being for personal, right? I'm stuck on keeping it all together. The main reason being that at the time I'm choosing what to do next, or scheduling next actions, I like to have all my actions in front of me whether family, work projects, personal. etc. But, I can see how I could have a system that I leave at work... that would be a new concept for me. Maybe, as an experiment, I'll switch over to index cards for all my projects and actions for the summer while things are slow. Thanks for your insights! » POSTED IN:
