I’ve tried sooo many web based tools and I think paper works best for me as there is no load time. :) Todoist is a pretty good one though as it’s dead simple.

Thanks for the demo Dave. Yeah, another benefit to using index cards: the joy of crumpling a finished task and throwing it away. :)

Good job. I use a hybrid system as well, consisting of a hPDA and a Backpack account. I must say, tough, I consider Backpack my “backup” iteration, as I rely on the index cards most heavily.

I used a Moleskine for a while, but went back to cards. I felt that the Moleskine began to feel “cluttered” after a while, when I couldn’t remove heavily marked pages, plus my “inbox” page would eventually “move” further away from my context pages as I filled those.

Conversely, I can easily remove “spent” index cards. While the Moleskine is certainly more attractive, I found it less functional (for my own needs).

Hey Mike. Great usage. I haven’t much gotten into the PDA-mobile world, but I think there is lots of potential. It seems like the moleskine is a must have tho.

Thanks for this post- I too favor a “hybrid” system that utilizes both paper and digital tools. My palm and iambic desktop software handle the “hard” data while my planner and moleskine are more agile and enable the creative moments.
