hPDA starter kits

I'm thinking of using the DIY templates and creating some hPDA starter
sets to give as a little extra Christmas gift to a few people.

I know many of them won't end up using them, but it's just a few index
cards so no big deal.

I'm trying to keep it simple. Possible some NA cards where I've
already written in "Contexts." Like, Next Action @ Telephone, or Next
Action at Work, etc. Easily understood w/o getting into heavy GTD
education. Also, blank project cards.

What else would you recommend?

Print up some calendar cards. Either single cards for the year (maybe six months per side?) or one card per month so they can write on the days. I have found this more useful for capturing hard landscape items than writing it out in a note like Feb 29 4:00 Foo @ Bar with Bat and Baz.

Also, I think some of the more task oriented cards would be nice, but consider who is getting which starter kit and put the ones they would need most so the kit doesn't get overstuffed. So, you could put some "checkbook register" cards in one or some storyboard cards in another, depending on the person.

That's all I can think of right now.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

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. »
