Wallet suggestions

Can any of you help me with my quest of a good GTD wallet:

It should not be complicated but I have not found anything yet, here are my specs:

1) 2 cash slots (one for cash, one for receipts for my expense account)

2) a few credit card slots

3) Index card holder, or notepad

4) small pen

---------------

Once I have this I will be set ... one of my biggest problems is not writing down things that I need to do when I am on the road and then forgetting them or stressing about forgetting them.

if you can help me I will be eternally grateful

Cheers

After nearly wearing a hole...

After nearly wearing a hole in my right back pocket for two pairs of jeans, I just had to switch to carrying my large wallet in my left back pocket last week. It's amazing, because I must've gotten used to sitting on that big thing with my right cheek, because I sure notice when I'm sitting on it with my left now!

So now that I've entered the whole GTD lifestyle, I think it's a perfect opportunity to upgrade to a more zen wallet. I like the idea of a slim, front pocket wallet, but not sure which one to get. Amazon has a pretty good selection here:

Front Wallets

The only one that I can find with any reviews is the Dopp Front Getaway Pocket (with 3 5-star reviews). I'm not sure if I want to go with that one or one with a money clip on the outside like a lot of them have. I read another review of a Dopp wallet with a clip that said you had to have a number of bills in the clip for it to have the right tension, so a magnetic clip sounds kinda nice like this one:

Bosca Old Leather Front Pocket ID Wallet

Anyone have any experience with wallets like this?

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