Color-coded hPDA cards?
Brad Blackman | Jun 22 2006
Do any of you use color-coded index cards? Mine are currently all white, unruled, and I'm starting to use my own DIY hipster-ish thing since I didn't quite like the one on DIY Planner. I'm trying to eliminate the tags sticking out, and I've started grouping the cards by "meta-context" (broader contexts that smaller ones fit into), and I'm thinking of making all the "Home" ones one color, all the "People" one another. What do y'all do? 7 Comments

Chrome: I have seen in a few places (sorry no links) people using "striper" cards in the hPDA. Essentially they take a Sharpie or magic marker and draw a band of color down one or more sides of the card, also along the edge of the card, so that the cards stands out in a stack. It is a lo-fi/lo-cost way of playing with color coding without buying a stack of cards you may not keep. This is EXACTLY what I was going to say. Another benefit is that you don't have to worry about not having the right color cards (extras) with you -- you use any card and then code it later rather than having to transfer it to a different card. » POSTED IN:
