Different Tools/System for Work and Personal Stuff

I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there that, like me, uses different GTD tools for personal items and work?

For example, for a personal capture device I use and Moleskine Ruled Pocket Notebook. For my work capture device I use a Levenger Notepad (The letter sized Cornell-like one), For whatever reason, I am far more comfortable using a standard letter sized pad at work, one page a day, carrying forward any undone items to a new page and filing yesterdays away (though I am strongly considering a Circa). This is only one example and there are at least a couple of others.

Is there anyone else who does something like this?

I use different tools for work & home as well. I had the same issue SteveC did--I just don't check my work tools from home, so into psychic RAM everything goes. Right now I'm goofing with Ta-Da lists (part of Backpack) for my home lists, and that's working well so far.

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. »
