The Hipskine, bringing LoFi and Tech together

I am not sure where to put this. John West has brought together the HiFi and LoFi worlds in his GTD implementation in his creation of the Hipskine.

GTD + Tracks + Moleskine = Hipskine

I have read over the article a couple of times and have decided to try to implement this in my GTD lifestyle. I have been using Tracks for about a week and loving it!! I carry 3x5 cards for notes and such (I am a Network Administrator in a 1-man IT department...so I get a lot of "Hey, while your here, could you look at X?")

I just have to find a Moleskine 2006 Pocket Daily Planner since the Official USA site is sold out and your only option is to be notified when the 2007 planners come out, and there is no place in Alabama that sells Moleskine. :(

I understand that it is not a revolution in thinking in bringing these two things together, but it is an innovation that I think will work for me.

What exactly about the printed-out part bothers you? I am not understanding that. Is it that you have to constantly print it out? I have found that I am using the printed out part to write new NAs on, then I add them to Tracks when I get to a computer. Then suring WR, I do a new printout to add to the Moleskine.

It is working pretty good. I bought some 'upgrades' that I will be implement (and flickring) soon.

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. »
