I use paper for three different purposes (actually more than that, but the line is blurry, so I'm sticking to this story: three it is):
- Notes: I'm always carrying a notebook and a pen in my pocket so that when the sudden inspiration strikes, where to buy Klonopin, I can write down the thought before it escapes my mind. Canada, mexico, india, Lately, I have increased the number of notebooks to three so that I have separate notebooks for article ideas, stories and anecdotes, rx free Klonopin, as well as one for general note taking.
- Drafts: I can't help it, Online buying Klonopin hcl, but when I think, I must waste paper. I draw diagrams that are incomprehensible for anyone other than myself, I scribble down keywords to my ideas, I build mind maps, Order Klonopin with No Prescription. For this, order Klonopin online c.o.d, I try to use paper that would go to waste anyway, Buy Klonopin without a prescription, like the backsides of prints, ads, napkins, order Klonopin no prescription, etc.
- Tasks: This is what we're going to talk about today. Purchase Klonopin online no prescription, I have tried using all kinds of computer based solutions. I have used calendars. I have used my phone, buy Klonopin from canada. Order Klonopin with No Prescription, But none of them has ever worked for me for writing down and tracking my progress with the tasks that I need to be working on. Luckily, Online buy Klonopin without a prescription, some time ago, I realized that I can use a pencil and an eraser, and have been happily using a paper based task list ever since.
The Problem With Software
I don't know about you, order Klonopin from mexican pharmacy, but I have two major problems with computer-driven task lists:
- I can't carry them with me everywhere. This might change if I had an iPhone, Where can i buy Klonopin online, but I don't, so even the best online options such as Ta-Da List or Remember The Milk are out of the question. If I can't have my task list with me when I'm away from my computer, comprar en línea Klonopin, comprar Klonopin baratos, what's the point of having one. Buy cheap Klonopin no rx, It's not like I would sit at my desk 24/7 (OK, so what if I did. I'd still want to have the task list next to me instead of wasting valuable screen real estate with it).
- They are not flexible enough. I like to draw over the borders, buy Klonopin from mexico. If I feel like drawing a web page mockup or logo sketch next to my to do list item, that's what I want to be able to do, not create an attachment and upload it to my task system, Order Klonopin with No Prescription.

If I.., where can i buy cheapest Klonopin online. well, Real brand Klonopin online, you get the picture.
So far, I have never found a piece of software that could fill both of my requirements.
On the other hand, buy Klonopin without prescription, there is this age old technology known as paper. Order Klonopin with No Prescription, It does it all. Ordering Klonopin online, And more.
Todoodlist - and Tapping to the Power of Paper
I read a lot, but it's rare for a book to have as big of an impact on my every day life as Nick Cernis' fabulous little e-book, where can i find Klonopin online, Todoodlist. Purchase Klonopin, Todoodlist, taglined "Technology is great. Pencils are better", australia, uk, us, usa, is a book about simplifying productivity and giving up on gadgets that only complicate the tasks that they are trying to help us track. That's an idea that resonates perfectly with me, Order Klonopin with No Prescription. Fast shipping Klonopin, But even better than that, the book also presents clearly defined blueprints for a paper based task tracking system: the Todoodlist.
I decided to give the Todoodlist method a try, Klonopin price, coupon, and ever since it has stuck to me. Buy cheap Klonopin, I can't do back to regular to do lists any more, instead I always doodle my tasks in the form of this more organized, more visual structure, Klonopin for sale.
This is where erasers come handy. Order Klonopin with No Prescription, I always try to doodle my Todoodlists with a pencil so that when a task is done, I can erase it from the task list. Kjøpe Klonopin på nett, köpa Klonopin online, This way, the list won't get crowded with old information that I no longer need, and I can see my status with just one glance at the piece of paper, buy generic Klonopin. But whenever I make the mistake of using a pen, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, my task list is full of remarks and deprecated notes in less than half a day of work, which means that the list has already become unusable.

I use both. I have a blackberry with a memo application that I record ideas on if I’m out without anything to write on. But my wife just purchased a small Molskine Notebook for me so I’m going to start carrying that around with me for ideas.
Deron Sizemores last blog post..What’s In a Business Name? Everything?
Mmm.. Moleskine. I have one too. But I have just one problem it (have you noticed this effect?): It seems a bit too precious for my everyday scribbles.
A Moleskine has this prestige around it that makes me want to save it for just the most powerful, and most important ideas out there. Which means that I no longer carry the Moleskine with me – just a few regular notebooks…
Yeah, I have noticed that same thing. I feel like I don’t want to get it dirty or something.
If I save it for my most powerful, most important ideas though, I’m afraid I would never write anything in it. haha
Deron Sizemores last blog post..What’s In a Business Name? Everything?
Hehe, that’s exactly what happened to me… I must find a way to force myself to use the Moleskine again :)
Moleskine is too expensive for daily usage
@Quotes World – Really? I have the small Moleskin notebook and I think it was $10. Sure, it’s not $2 which I could have paid at Wal-Mart, but not real expensive for a nice notebook.
Deron Sizemores last blog post..What’s In a Business Name? Everything?
What can I say Jarkko my friend. This is another great post.
Thank you and More power
Thanks, Don!
@Quotes World: I thought so too at first, but then decided to buy one anyway. Haven’t regretted the decision (except for the fact that I still haven’t gotten used to using the moleskine for normal stuff…): the moleskine is something different from your everyday notebook. It’s quality at its finest. :)
I too cary a pen and something to write on everywhere I go. I had a PDA at one time, but found organizing and try to keep up with conversations in note taking to be too time consuming. Hey Jarkko I finally got my blog going. Thank you for your help and advice.

Chetts last blog post..How do you rate your knowlege of personal finance?
Awesome, Chett! Congratulations for your new blog, and good luck! I’ll be following your posts :)
Hey Jarkko,
Now that you said such praise words for the Todoolist method, I guess I should try it myself.
But what amazes me is how do you manage three notebooks at the same time? I also always carry around with me a mini-notebook and a pen (I’ve learned that ideas strike in funny times ;)), but I’ve also learned that rewriting and structuring the notes in different notebooks takes a lot of time and effort. I still have them stored somewhere 11-12 (and I’m not making up this number) of my notebooks with only the first 5-6 pages filled-up.
I’ve also tried the post-it and/or plain paper method. But soon I loose those notes or they get so crumpled from carrying them around in my bag that I often confuse them with the trash paper (receipts, chocolate wraps etc.) and they end up in the garbage can soon after.
And that also rationalizes my single use of pens – pencil-written notes get easily blurred by the wrinkles :)
My temporary solution is having one notebook for everything (work-related tasks, personal todo’s, thoughts, ideas, quotes, wishes, goals, drawings…). I fill it up in a month or so, then go through it, get rid of the ‘every-day’ task pages and keep the rest. I keep them in my drawer and occasionally go through them. Maybe one day I’ll organize those pages in separate folders. But that’s just ‘maybe’ ;)
I’m a bit varied in my approach to pencils and paper:
I like pens (sic!) with erasers. Like Pilot FriXion. They smudge less than pencils and erase fine.
For my GTD I like my Palm still the best, for taking notes I have a moleskin-like thing currently, though I like spiral bound notebooks best.
My journal is written with a pump-action fountain pen, in most often permanent and waterproof ink.
We have a pencil and RiteInRain pad in our shower.

@Dren: Good idea! I haven’t regretted checking out Todoodlist so far – although I guess you already knew that from reading my post ;)
The three notebooks are still a rather new experiment for me, but so far they seem to work rather well. I think that’s because I have decided clear contents for each notebook: one is just for article ideas, one is tasks only, and one is for writing down stories and anecdotes.
But, recently I realized that these three categories are not enough. I also need a generic notebook for writing down things that don’t fit in any of these. This is my fourth notebook ;)
I agree that restructuring the ideas is a nearly impossible task… But I have decided not to worry about that too much. Every now and then, I go through my notebooks – but I don’t really have a good process for that (yet). Your monthly cleaning up process might work well for me too.
@Lynoure: Yeah, I think permanent pens are the best for journaling too – after all, that’s stuff you want to remember. And having a pencil in your shower – that’s hardcore! Great stuff!
I must ask about the Palm, though… Why do you like it for GTD? Do you use some specific GTD software on it or just regular notes? I’m just curious to know if technology can still challenge my paper based favorites… :)
@Jarkko: I use Memos for lists (those are just text files you can organize into categories) and the built-in todo software for the actions, but the core is Progect, which is a free hierarchical notekeeper that syncs into the todo list, so I can have my context and project details in the right places, and queue up next-to-next actions so that they won’t yet show in my action lists. In paper based systems I kept erasing, reshuffling, rewriting too much. Some day I hopefully a little subnotebook with Basket and KPim can do the same as Palm&Progect does now.
