Cleaning out a closet, I happened to find an old card game (RACK-O). Inside the box I found four plastic card racks designed to hold the playing cards in a vertical position for easy viewing.

Then the thunderbolt struck!

I realized that I could stand these card racks on my desk, insert my various GTD index cards into the slots and have them “in my line of sight” while I am working. Having them in my field of vision, I have constant reminders about what I am waiting for … priorities … call backs … whatever. Granted, this impacts the portatbility of the GTD cards, but when you know you’re going to be chained to the desk for a period of time, this could be a good accessory!
