Have some thoughts or to do list’s that may not be Moleskine worthy? Well here comes the mighty pocket briefcase to your rescue. What is a pocket briefcase you may ask? Well, it’s fancy name for a index card holder. The price range on these bad boys are from 25 cents to almost 50 bucks. This weekend I used mine to take note of my Wife’s incoming flight number and list the stuff I needed to pick up at Costco.
I picked up this leather pocket briefcase at a thrift shop for 25 cents….
I’m trying to figure out a good reason I would drop almost 50 bucks (when you include shipping) for a index card holder…If you can think of a good reason please let me know.
And some productivity geek’s have sucked all the fun out of it by adding a ton of steps to the already majestically simple process…
I’ve been a Getting Things Done junkie since Merlin Mann introduced me to the concept on 43 Folders. (How long ago was that, anyway? I find it hard to remember life before GTD…) Like many of you, I’m an incorrigible GTD tweaker, constantly trying out new methods to eke the last few ounces of productivity out of my day. (Yes, I’m aware that all that tweaking often wastes more time than you’d ever save, but I’ll get to that dilemma in a future post.)
What You’ll Need for Today’s Hack:
I got a Levenger pocket briefcase a couple years ago ($free$) at a trade show. Your right, this is a solid tool for taking notes on the fly.
Being an “it geek” by trade and training some of my friends would jokingly refer to it as my “Amish Palm Piolt”
