Project material and atomic to-do list
Each section in the A6 project file has
-- a re-usable card devider whith an acetate pocket stitched to the top for inserting
a tag, and a flag for those sections with immediate next actions
-- an atomic to-do list with acetate pockets stitched to one side which holds the individual NA slips and displays them. The top pocket holds the section name tag and context (e.g.dry/daytime for outdoor jobs requireing those conditions), the bottom pocket holds slips pointing to additional backup material filed elsewhere. The slips are roughtly bundled in groups of jobs, ordered in sequence, and the most important one drawn out a little to show 'next'
-- project support material, sketches, information, ideas, inspiration
Still a little messy, after pulling all the slips out of the tickler to put roughtly into context. The tickler will just have a slip saying e.g. 'house', and not the NA, which would be on the context card 'house'. Filing slips in the tickler may not always be date critical and may be a little arbitrary, but serves as a nudge for a review. I find weekly reviews more arbitrary, as in my life (working from home), its an artificial devider. Repairing the roof may not have to be done in June, but if in June it is still not done, it will remind me that the summer is moving on, and it will have to be done soon.
