4x6

Success! I am now happily printing my lists onto index cards. Now, my hipster experiment can begin. I'm happily married to kGTD, which is not to say that we don't have our little spats. While kGTD is my homebase for action planning, I've been taking my task lists on the road using a Windows mobile Missing Sync, which works well. I'm using uncoated, blank, white 4"x6" cards and a HP Photosmart 320 photo printer. Works great. Even better with the ink set to low volume. This trip started out trying to use 3x5 cards, but I couldn't get them to work with the printers I have. But, its fine using 4x6 cards because they fit in the back pocket of my 501 jeans and my suit jacket breast pocket easily. And, they give you more surface on which to write. But, I'll have to supersize my moleskine pocket cahier to a 5x8. So, for all you out there who are are getting frustrated trying to print on 3x5, try and big up to 4x6 index cards. 4 Comments

 Sounds like you and I...Submitted by wood.tang on May 27, 2006 - 8:23am.
Sounds like you and I almost have the same setup. I treat kGTD as my master list, and sync it to a PPC 6700 for reference while I'm out and about. But why go to the trouble of printing on cards if you have all that portable gear already? I find the most effective use of index cards for me now is as a scratch pad, for whatever random ephemeral bits I need to write down and keep track of during the day. I also find them handy for (and I know this is GTD heresy) jotting down a daily to-do list that is a small subset of tasks from my master list. This helps me plan ahead and focus on the tasks that make sense for my working environment, mood, and energy for the day. » POSTED IN:
