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.

GTD, tools of the trade (detail).
Two pocketmods (one with next actions, etc.; one with calendar and notes), my trusty jetstream pen and my laptop with my own Excel GTD system.
I am writing and serializing a book on the slip method, explaining how it works and how it can be integrated with a system.
I like the idea of the GTD way of "Ticklers". Items that have a long term plan that currently don't need thinking about or even alloting to any project, but are things that you plan for sometime in the future but don't want to forget about. Listing each of them down as a "Tickler" allows you during your Weekly Review to be softly reminded of tasks and/or projects that you have planned for sometime in the future. There is no particular time scale, they may stay there just for a month or maybe for a year or indeed years. The idea is that you never forget these items but at the same time you never have them filling your head up either as you know you have them listed and the only time you need to really think about it is during the Weekly Review.
Once you decide to activate a tickler item then it is crossed out from the ticklers page and added to a project page, or indeed a new project page added. Then the "next actions" are written down for the item.
Typical items I have in here are long term server plans, plans for the house or garden that cannot take place for a year or two.
way too distracting at home,
too many books & magazines i haven't read,
too many URLs to unfurl,
too much in the fridge to save from their expiry dates,
so am heading to the local mermaid with as little as possible,
just enough for messages to come in.

Oops, accidentally erased this one today. This is the digital version of the biscuit tin thingy done with the mindmapping facility of the Inspiration softwear (trial)
I made this little hipster for A8 size paper. I can cut up any old paper for this, like old correspondence, envelopes and junk mail. A guillotene makes the DIY office so easy. Not an indexcard in sight.

This is a custom-made kneeboard-derived Hipster-PDA evolution. It measures 13 cm (ca. 5 in) in width and 22 cm (ca. 9 in) in height. The clip holds standard envelopes and the rings take A6 (10.5 x 15 cm / 4 x 6 in) paper.

GTD, tools of the trade.
Two pocketmods (one with next actions, etc.; one with calendar and notes), my trusty jetstream pen and my laptop with my own Excel GTD system. Screen is also showing my blog about GTD (http://gtd.marvelz.com/blog), the lines.doc I print on the backside of each pocketmod and the final pocketmod in PDF, ready to be printed.
Attempting to implement the GTD system. Still having problems processing and project planning but gotta keep at it!
This has been my "note-taking" choice for year 2006.
No PDA and no uber-expensive moleskine: these twelve booklets (by NAVA) feature a smart set of "holes" to indicate the month of reference and just the right number of pages. So I can easily keep a track of what happened, month by month ;)

The Index is constantly added to during the week. (see flickr.com/photos/mrmole/2915490506/in/set-72157606467254...
Every Monday morning I undertake the all important GTD "Weekly Review" (WR) which is 30 minutes to an hour where I do nothing but process my thoughts and tasks for the week. One part of the WR is to process my INBOX and one of the options I have for a task is to move it to its own project. A "project" is something which contains one or more subtasks in order to complete it. I have based this loosely on GTD terms although I normally call projects an actual project that I am undertaking at home or work and then list tasks and break them down within. Here, a task may have many subtasks which in GTD terminology would be another project; which I suppose this all still stands in a way. I have a project (project X say) which contains a number of tasks that need to be completed in order to achieve the goal of the project (which is normally to get all my commitments to the project done and so work out of my way).
One of the tasks may be, for example, to complete a Test Plan document. So I take this from the INBOX (if indeed it started life in there) and move it to the Project X page that I either create or have created. The big thing then and what I believe is what makes a lot of the GTD idea make sense, is that you don't simply leave it like that. The aim of GTD is to empty your head in order to allow you to actually think about what you are doing instead of it being crammed with what you should be doing or what you will be doing. So to "complete a Test Plan document" is quite a big task and just that itself brings up a lot of questions in your head. How will I start it, what shall I include in it, when shall I put the requirements cross references in, who will peer review it? By putting this one task onto the project you have filled your head up once again with everything and you need to do something about that. So, thinking in a GTD way, you need to ask as soon as you have written that task down "what next?". What needs to be done in order to have that one task complete? If it turns out that all you need to do is that one task then everything is fine, but if you find yourself straight away thinking about how you would approach the task and you have to do x, y and z in order to tick it off the list then you need to split it up, create it into its own sub-project of the main project.
We see then that a true task must be a single item, it must be able to be started and finished without needing anything else. If that is not the case then you must split it up. Everything looks a lot more manageable when split up into small chunks, both in your head and, more importantly as you wish to get things like this out of your head, on paper.
Each task on the project page is written with a dash in the front in the format "- write test plan" for example. There is no real idea behind the dash, it just seemed to evolve with how I write lists, but in fact it makes a good marker and spacer in order to allow further marking up. One such mark would be to put a tick through the dash to show that it has been done. I could have had make this dash into a little box that could be ticked, but dashes make a block of text look more like a list when done in my handwriting!
The project pages are the main home for tasks, taken from mostly the INBOX page and they stay there until complete. There are "one or many" project pages within the Moleskine book, these are grouped into three sections. Each project has at least half a page to itself, if I believe it will be a bigger project then it has its own page. The first pages of projects are "personal" projects, such a finance, home, school, car, diy... just general personal type things that can all be turned into projects in the GTD sense. The next projects are all work related and take up most of the room, it is a sad fact that work takes up a lot of ones life and it is when having things under control pay off the most. The last collection of projects are things I am doing for friends, and scripts that I said I would work on or articles I said I would write for friends and various "free time" groups that I am a member of or help with.
At this point, we still only have a list that has gone from a big big list to a number of sublists on different pages which themselves are split further into smaller sub projects. A future post will explain what happens next, how do you get all this information into something you can handle on a weekly basis?
You never know what you might find out here! Can you see it? We found this little crayfish (perfectly blending in with our much-loved gloves) in the [name] creek.

shows the "file bookmark" hack - when temporarily removing a file, life the one behind it to "bookmark" where to return it to. it's held in place when the files in front of it fall back
I asked some of my entrepreneur and independent worker friends, "What did you do all day?"
Here's a sampling of what they told me.
So I'm starting the Getting Things Done program, or system, or whatever you want to call it. This is currently the state of my inbox. I'm a bit surprised by the holding capacity of a medium-sized bedroom.
I had 10-15 minutes to kill this morning, so I turned an old print into a nice compact cover for my next-action lists.

A new card hack based on www.nextactioncards.com & the widget library from www.diyplanner.com. Everything one needs to use GTD is about here.
This is a lightweight, unobtrusive hipster I made to keep in my back pocket at all times. The protective flap feeds through a strip which also holds the paper at one end.
Bit by bit I am reducing my A4 files with A6 and A7 files with pared down information, extracting the core information from those
articles and books, and writing it on A6 or A7 pieces of paper or maybe file a small, dense article as is ( a job for long winter evenings). The mini files use A7 paper, using the back of old correspondence cut down, and punched with standard hole punch.

team meeting one. we spent all day tuesday to come up with this list of the 98 projects we were working on. since then i remembered 4 more
i've got 99 problems and... here they are. all spelled out on a white board.
One I made for a teenage girl who likes it colourful. The pencil is a shortened Birdie mechanical pencil, and put inside the shell of a mini ballpoint pen from W H Smith.

My morning computer routine starts with dealing with email via my laptop. My folders are set up a la GTD (Getting Things Done)
Straight from the shop. Including free fingerprints all over the chrome... This one measures 12 x 15 cm (4.75 x 6 in) with a clip for the Space Pen. It is made of heavy 2 mm cardstock and holds everything up to DIN / ISO A6 (the European standard size for postcards). See more at All Things Lyrois.
