I have been using a very simple single sheet PDA. I dislike the amount of ‘work’ that some of the PDA version require…taping card together etc.. This is a bit more open to chaos and is also designed to drive reflection / modeling of the world around us.

I remember coming across a year or two ago some Hipster PDA templates specifically for sales people. One template categorized the types of contacts that you did that day with a point system that you could add up. The points/categories had a nice color coding scheme in squares containing the point value. Other than that, I don’t remember much about them other than their design was really nice and simple.

I can’t seem to find the templates or bookmarks to them. Anyone know what I’m talking about? Know where I could find them?

Every year, somebody gets me one of those Page-a-Day calendars for Christmas. I never have the heart to tell them that I really don’t want another, and every year I try to stick it out and dutifully tear off a sheet each morning.  read more »

Information R/evolution

I really enjoyed this video presentation by Michael Wesch on how we make, find, and share information in a world where we’ve shed the idea of paper as our sole medium for storage and communication — where ideas can munge and mix freely, thanks to digital collaboration.

Gorgeous.

Now, of course, as a fan of paper for certain kinds of work, I always feel like jumping in at this point to defend our pulpy little friend from what sometimes turns into a blanket party.  read more »

Heres my problem. Let’s say i’ve made a list of things i need to talk to bob about. So i have a list of tasks in my @Bob context. I go to school, and, until recently, i wouldn’t have even had that list when i bumped unexpectedly into him, but now i have decided to put those in my iPod Touch, which i always have, and is, unlike a notecard, reuseable.

Now heres the issue. How do i rememember how to whip out the touch, flick over to @bob and go “I need to ask you about a horse.” or whatever the task is?

quite a conundrum for me. any ideas?

How often do you find yourself at an office door, wishing you could leave a note to describe you’ve been there? There are many situations where having a post-it handy would be, well, awfully handy. With a simple hack of your hipster PDA, you can have this power at all times!  read more »

I love my Hipster PDA, but I don’t love how the metal binder clip is nicking the back of my iPhone.

Any recommendations for replacing said clip? I’d rather not put anything in a case because I prefer to just whip it out at the ready. ‘Cause that’s how I roll.
