Colored 3X5's?

Is anyone using colored 3x5's for an hPDA? Seems like I remember Emory having a green Someday Maybe card. Anyone using different colors for Projects, Next Actions/Contexts, etc? I went to Office Depot today to pick some up to try it out, but they didn't have any plain blank ones for double sided printing. When I think about it all, I'm not sure I would actually like it all that much, but I would like to hear other people's experiences.

Thanks for all the feedback,...

Thanks for all the feedback, folks. I think I am going to stick with all white for now. Color coding would just give me something else to fiddle with. If I need color, I think I will just take a highlighter or sharpie to the edges.

P.S. This post would probably have been substantially different if Office Depot had had unruled colored 3X5's when I went. ;)

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. »
