Here the to-do 'list' and tickler are on the same board. This is my prefered display, but due to virtually no available wall space by the desk, the board is behind me, and out of sight, and therefore out of mind. So I made a mini desk tickler.

The box for hanging files was made from cardboard with wooden ends, metal strips as rails, and handles made from fence straining wire.
The large files will be condensed into the mini filing system after extracting core information. The two bulging files simply labled 'Garden' (hm, where in this pile is the article on growing figs?) will be transfered to fact A6 sheets and sorted by plant and other garden related subject. I tried to fit the template onto an A7 sheet, but it would be a bit crowded, so this one will be an A6 rack.

This bleacher is made by laminating strips of cardboard from something like a cerial packet. The slight curve makes it stable despite the thin profile.

Inspired by the need to carry a lot of little bits and bobs around with me and wanting to create a nice home for my new hipster or chester(due to where its worn now) I came up with the body bag/bibster MkI , made with linen and cotton fabric. The next one will be a little more sturdy. I found a black leather jacket in a charity shop, and when I get the buckles and studs, I will make - sorry, can't resist another pun - a kinkster.

GTD tools of the trade.
Overview of some of the tools I use to implement GTD.
My nokia for voice memo's (in-basket), cheap paper notebook for notes/ideas that go straight into my physical in-basket, pocketmod(s), pen, tickler, calendar (yes, paper!) and a Brother label writer.

The time line is a rough estimation of how long I want to work at a job or when to schedule something. The aim is to remove all the red markers by the end of the day, but if some jobs are still undone, the marker can stay there or be rescheduled for a different time for the next day. If a job which can only be done at certain times is left undone before the end of the day, I turn it diagonally, so I can ignore it for the rest of the day, and reschedule the following day. Other undone jobs are just slipped down to a new time slot.

I like gardening and some may call it a bit on the geeky side but I like the planning of garden too. I suppose that over the years you get to know when to do things, when to expect things and when to pick things to eat - and indeed I do know that to an extent. However, I like to keep planned and things out of my head (part of the idea of GTD) and so I have put two pages of the book aside to planning the garden.
The page has 12 columns for each of the months and underneath as many items as I can think of and fit in. For each month of the year I am able to tell just what I sould be doing by looking at the various bars for each row. A row per item such as "plant potatoes" or "pick raspberries" and the such like. It keeps things out of my head and also gives a whole year's view of work that needs to be done year after year.
I'm not doing too much in the garden these days but next year I hope to start on square foot gardening and I am already thinking of ways to plan for this using my notebook. Square foot gardening is all about planning, if you mess up there then you will never get the best and the most results from your limited ground. So I shall see, it may be paper based of I may write some online tool that will do the planning for me.
A better picture of my little back pocket hipster, with some to-do slips added and my darling little Birdie. Oh, this is Munchkin land.
The pad is 3 1/2" x 2 1/2" and I carry it in my back pocket all the time, and don't notice it one bit, even with the pencil and clip.

My present life planned out on A4 - home, work, interests. Each oval is a major project or component. The lines show the inter-relatednes of each component.
I am writing and serializing a book on the slip method, explaining how it works and how it can be integrated with a system.
In my bag I have:
* a big pencase (but not big enough)
* a notebook for my inbox stuff and notes (GTD)
* a plastic zip bag with some of my post-its and sticky notes
* my lovely antique rose Finsbury Filofax (A5)
For anyone making their own hipsterPDA, here a few ideas for binders.

This is my first attempt to start GTD (getting things done) - see 43folders.com for a good explanation!
This is a handy way to store and file all your odd paper bits -- it's in the right side of my desk - so always at easy access
Every time I get an idea or remember something I just can't forget to do, I write it down in this little notebook.
Yea, I'm a slob. If I had enough time to put stuff away or work on one project at a time, I wouldn't need the Getting Things Done philosophy...
This is the current implementation of my GTD setup. Nearly the entire space is contained by the 7x5 foot area beneath my Ikea Stora queen sized loft bed.
Featuring:
- Ikea Stora desk attachment to the Stora bed serving as supply storage, filing area, and writing desk.
- Ikea Jerker desk serving as my computing area with desktop adjusted to "sit or stand" height. Not pictured is the wheeled drafting chair that seats me high enough to be comfortable.
- 6x3 foot cork bulletin board I custom built into the bed frame.
- 4x3 foot white board (Out of frame, composing the right wall) I custom built into the bed frame.
Just started experimenting with a magnet board, mind-mapping and algorithm to get order and an overview into my atomic to-do list. Soon ran out of magnets, so I only grouped the to-do slips roughly. I am still at the very start of this design process. But, boy, does that put fun into your task list. The inspiration came from this website alas, it is in German.
Update: this was one of the first experiment with this method. The method has been greatly refined. Please check out the Slip Method set and the serialised book on my website.

Will blog about my productivity, paper, and standing "desks" later.

Designing a Year 1 Plan for a start-up project. I had to go lo-fi. Please note: I've created a group called Evernote Playground, and invite you to post your Evernote experiments there.
Inspired by images found on flickr, I left the computer behind in favor of breaking my One Year Plan for the Alumni Mentor Program at Marylhurst into small components across 5 themes: experiences, partners, research, messaging, AmeriCorps. Each of these themes is examined across 4 terms of Year 1, which starts in Sep 08. Outside the frame are some broader targets and ideas for Year 2 and Year 3.
I executed this project on my office floor at work - everyone who walked by commented on my technique. It was funny to hear that most people reflected on how organized I was and that it looked like "work is getting done!" I'd been thinking what a nut I was, and how working like this was way-fun and reminded me of coloring on the floor when I was a kid! I've tapped into my inner-organizational-geek child.
Seeing how others have worked using this component method encouraged me to experiment with this process - thanks to folks who share their ways of working!!! Old dogs can learn new tricks. Note to self: choose heavier stock once this supply is gone! Luckily no dogs wandered in (it's happened before).

This is my Rosh Hashanah meal planner in use, printed and pasted in my Moleskine notebook.
See here for the free download of your own copy for printing to place on the refrigerator, inside a cabinet, or in your planner. There are free downloads of planning sheets for Sukkot and Shmini Atzeret in that post as well.
As described in this blog post about planning for the Tishrei holidays, we do "one company meal between sleeps". Each day's company meal is highlighted in yellow.
The "guests" section of the other meals have "family only" written in them.
My Hipster PDA and Homemade Mini-Pens. Joined the Hipster PDA movement in 2008. Although I cannot live without my Blackberry Pearl, there are many times when a simple phone number, URL, idea or name must be quickly recorded. "Does anyone have a pen??" I also find it is handy to write a note down and give it away. Or I can ask someone to write their email address down and pass it to me. I'll hand out paper - not Blackberrys. Finally, paper is so tactile. It's a welcome relief to a whole day in front of my computer.
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.

My (very simple) GTD index card scheme. I don't really have any hard and fast rules about the index card colours yet.
I keep with true GTD working and have an 'Inbox' which is used as dump for everything in my head. This is probably the best Inbox I have had as it requires no booting up, swtiching on, or indeed anything. Just need to open the page and start listing everything that is in my head. Doesn't matter about anything else, just spending some time to jot things down one after the other.
I write down list items in the same way throughout the book, a dash and then the item. When I have done or sorted the task I then put a tick through the line. If the item is no longer needed (maybe it was put down in error or it is no longer valid) then I cross out the whole item.
This list is processed at least once a week during my Weekly Review (WR) where I look at each item in my Inbox and follow the GTD idea of either doing it now (if it will take less than two minutes), add to a project, assign to someone else, or delete. This is where such a retro approach to it all falls down a bit as if this was digital then I would simply move the item from one list and add it to another (in the case of adding it to a project) - but in retro Moleskine land I have to duplicate the item and write it out again on the correct page. However, that is not too much of a problem as during this time I give thought to the "Next Step" (NS) that the item needs, ie what needs to happen next in order to progress the item? That I list in brackets () after the item, along with any assignee if I am re-assigning it to someone else. If I need feel that the task can be broken down into further items then I list these indented as bullet lists, following the same notation rules (ie, this is the GTD of making large items into smaller manageable chunks and incorporating them into a single 'project')
