Taking Notes
Originally uploaded by philgyford.
Phil Gyford has a neat trick, by which he adds a few large Post-it notes to the inside cover of a book he’s starting to read. Handy way to make notes on the go.
I’m also a big fan of these removable/re-placeable Avery Write-On tabs, which you can stick in the front cover of your Moleskine or similar notebook. Makes it easy to do the Jerry Brito trick—creating ad hoc sections and shifting the location of your current TODO page, etc.
In other news, Amazon should be delivering my copy of Rapid Problem Solving with Post-it Notes tomorrow. Dunno if it’ll be any good, but it does look intriguing and got good reviews.
Got a good sticky-note trick to share? Planning? Brainstorming? Contextual notes?

Oh, you're going to enjoy...
Oh, you’re going to enjoy the Rapid Problem Solving book - a few simple techniques for organizing thoughts, alone or in groups. The stuff can be done with index cards using pins or magnets, as well, which is my own preference, since post-its can really do fall off the wall pretty easily, and really can’t be used for long-term display, or ongoing changes. Project planning, storyboarding, laying out a writing material, braintstorming… lots of applications.
