Color-coded hPDA cards?

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?

Bio

Brad Blackman is an artist and graphic designer working in the Nashville, Tennessee area. His paintings portray the geometry and architecture of everyday things that are easily overlooked, things that are ordinary yet beautiful in their austerity, form, and function, such as highway overpasses, turn-of-the-century storefronts, and enormous steel letters from a bygone era. He lives in Nashville with his wife, Hope.

In addition to painting and designing, Brad also runs the website Mysterious Flame, which discusses ways to maintain creative momentum.

Cranking

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
