No problems. Thank you for giving my odd little card system a name and some cred. Having caught on to the 3x5” trend has really made my day more workable, I used to use a regular PDA but it caused more headache than it was worth. In combo with my Moleskine diary and blackberry the days work gets done. Fantastic site. Great work. » POSTED IN:

Congrats. I trashed my Palm a few years back and went back to the method that had always worked for me, the 3x5s. It’s interesting that they keep popping up. The guy who runs Early to Rise (earlytorise.com), Michael Masterson, also uses this method and mentions it in this download: http://www.earlytorise.com/AccomplishMoreWithLess.pdf » POSTED IN:
That's fantastic. HPDA now...Submitted by A Different Matt (not verified) on March 12, 2005 - 5:18am.
That’s fantastic. HPDA now has an official government endorsement. I’ve actually rigged a mini-HPDA with my pocket Moleskine. I keep a few cards held inside the front cover with a rubber band, placed toward the binding. If I have reminders or a to-do list, I take that card out of the stack and put it on the outside of the cover, held under the rubber band and the elastic strap. That way I can just pull it out of my pocket and see what needs to be done immediately. It doesn’t work well if you need more than five or six cards, but it’s allowed me to turn my Moleskine into a pocket notebook, HPDA, and wallet. » POSTED IN:

Merlin, Now that the seal has been broken, if you ever decided to run for office in Canada, I’d vote for you. From Florida. » POSTED IN:
