After some thought, here is...Submitted by ScottE22 on December 5, 2006 - 8:57am.
After some thought, here is how I currently use my Circa in my work (educational administration)... At emory's suggestion (You ought to be on commission!), I purchased the divider tabs and clear cover for my leather notebook. I taped a business card and a picture of my wife and son to the front cover. :) In addition, I removed a bunch of pages to "lighten the load" after adding the dividers and covers. It just seems to close better with about 15 or 20 fewer pages. At present (subject to change in 20 minutes...), my 5 sections are as follows:
The part I'm most uncomfortable with is the Next Actions section. I used to use index cards, but I was uncomfortable with the way they got hidden away in the back of the notebook. I'm actually thinking of buying come of the Circa index cards (or a Circa punch) so I can "embed" the cards in the notebook using the rings. Curse you, Levenger, for your high-end and addictive productivity tools!! Still to come: How to archive... I have one additional set of binder covers and 22 rings at my disposal. All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase. Edited to add: I just visited the link in Ironman's post above. Very interesting way to use the letter-sized Circa. That was the only concern I had with ordering the "Junior" size -- you couldn't just print-and-punch. You have to print-cut-and-punch. And even then, the Junior pages are not exactly half letter sized pages. They're close, but not exact. » POSTED IN:
