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

Following reading RobertDaeley's "Zen Pockets"...

Following reading RobertDaeley's "Zen Pockets" a while ago I too decided to go way minimalist. I chose the Fisher Space Pen "Business Card Holder":
LINK

Carried in my front pocket it holds: My Driver's License, Bank Card, 1 Credit Card, Grocery Store "Club card, discount card for my favorite deli. And of course my trusty Chrome Space Pen resides in the handy pocket. At first it was tricky to figure out just what was the bare minimum I needed to carry each day but once I realized that I don't need to carry 2 credit cards or my health insurance card or a 13 year old sketch of my wife a buddy drew. Now the "wallet" rides in my front pocket next to my cell while the other pocket holds the iPod.

Now that I don't carry a tri-fold wallet in my hip pocket I no longer have occasional hip pain or day-long back aches.

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. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

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