PigPog PDA: A simplified Moleskine GTD system
Merlin Mann | Sep 5 2005
PigPogPDA - PigPog Creativity Wiki [Introduction] Michael Randall lays out a paper GTD-based system that should appeal to a lot of folks here.
Read on for details of a clever system for turning a Moleskine Reporter into a kind of über-notebook, in which capture, processing, and related work are handled using sticky-note flags and some light templating. Again, it’s great to see folks adapting the most useful aspects of systems like GTD to their needs. I especially like how Michael’s moved beyond the canonical implementation drill to stripping the actual system down to just the concepts that work best for him— then applying them in the medium he’s most comfortable using: in this case paper. Nice hack, man, and well documented. [Thanks, Michael] Related Stuff

As the GTD luddite half of the PigPog partnership, I thought I’d chime in with my 10 pence worth on the PigPogPDA. I didn’t get on with GTD, I tried but I found I’d need a system to manage my system to manage my system, and any attempt to “do” GTD failed not long past collection stage. It was just too much remembering how things should be categorised and listed. I normally don’t have much to do with the productivity side of our site - I do the arty bit and the badly drawn comics - but when Michael asked me to proof read the PigPog PDA I decided to give it a try. And it works as a simple way of keeping track of your thoughts and tasks. Mind like water? Not quite. More like ‘mind like a nice cup of tea’. Mmm, tea… time to get the kettle on. :) »

If memory serves, it was Mr. Ben Hammersley who sought “Mind Like Gin.” (And apologies if I passed over you in credit for this, Sam!!) »
