David Allen's Paper Planner

Anybody look at David Allen's Paper Planner setup?

Seems like a good general guide to use when starting to design your own paper planner.

Does anyone implement this?
Or has anyone modified this to their own needs and if so how?

You might be able to...

You might be able to contact Levenger and exchange your Junior size for credit towards a letter sized Circa. Who knows, but it's worth a shot. The worst they can say is no and you are still where you are now...

Good point about the Circa folding over onto itself. That would make a big difference in the desk space it takes up.

I still think though the letter-size is a big notebook. Maybe that's me...

I may be in an anti-letter size mindset. I've used letter-size spiral notebooks for years in school and since getting out I've been using the pocket and large Moleskine journals which have been refreshing and I've begun writing more for pleasure and my own pursuits rather than being required by a class.

So, I'm probably looking at letter size as a reminder of being trapped in class and the standard format. And I see that as stifling my creativity and my passion for using the notebook. I guess it is this whole rebellious streak I have...heh...

The Circa Jr. arrives tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. I may be in the same boat as everyone here in 2 weeks or so... time will tell.

We need emory to chime in here with his thoughts after using the Jr. for several months.

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. »
