Neat to see this popping...
Neat to see this popping up. I was using Ternouth’s method before hearing about GTD. It works great for desk, paper-based work, but does not appear to be well suited for, say, remembering to change the oil in the car while out on errands.
My current system is a hybrid of PigPog using the Hipster and Ternouth’s for paper handling.
Most of my projects which require support material need just one or two pages, so it doesn’t make sense to create a project support folder for it: just pop the sheets into a cover slip and throw into the stack.
It’s also a really good idea to limit one’s self to one project at a time - saves so much on lost and mis-filed papers. His suggestion of a “current project” box works great for me.
I’ve been working that way for weeks now - it’s really pretty smooth.
