Colored 3X5's?
Jamie Phelps | Apr 14 2006
Is anyone using colored 3x5's for an hPDA? Seems like I remember Emory having a green Someday Maybe card. Anyone using different colors for Projects, Next Actions/Contexts, etc? I went to Office Depot today to pick some up to try it out, but they didn't have any plain blank ones for double sided printing. When I think about it all, I'm not sure I would actually like it all that much, but I would like to hear other people's experiences. 7 Comments

I stick to plain white...Submitted by mwillmore on April 15, 2006 - 8:20am.
I stick to plain white cards, except for the yellow separator and red "stop" card. Everything that goes through my head -- what to pick up at the store, cool projects to do one day, homework -- ends up an equal item on the card(s). I don't differentiate until I process the full cards. This does require you to retain some "metadata" about each item on the list, though, like it's destination/priority. You could append each item on the list with a code for what list it will end up on (SM for someday/maybe, for example). I think this might remove bias for items. (An item on a dedicated someday/maybe card will stay a someday/maybe item, even if it's more like a regular project when you think about it hours later). » POSTED IN:
