Portable Tickler File?

Don Judd | Dec 26 2007

I'm looking for a portable tickler file, something I can put 43 folders in or is made to handle 43 folders, and can be portable between my office and home.

Anyone got any tips here?

Google Calendar

I also travel a lot, and my entire tickler file is now a Google Calendar that sends email and/or SMS alerts to "tickle" me.

I actively try to avoid anything on paper, but if I do have a paper-based something, I carry ONE folder and put the paper in that, with a note in Google Calendar to look at the paper.
