The Post-it Portable Workspace

Today I have a day off. Just some quality-time for myself, doing some work in and around the house. Really nice actually. Not only did I get to do some great things in the house (hanging art on the wall, fixing a wine-cabinet) but I also had some time to catch up on old mail that was in my “Someday/Maybe” list. I am subscribed to the excellent 43folders discussionlist and today I found some true gems over there to check out, try out or think about. One project really struck me. Not because it is something that will work for me (it won’t) or that it is suitable for my kind of work (it isn’t) but just the sheer ingenuity and originality of it. It is called The Post-it Portable Workspace and it is courtesy of Tammy Cravit at Warmfuzzy.com (love that domainname!) To qoute her story on the how and what of the system: “The basic idea of the PPW is simple: I took a series of plastic sheet protectors, which provide a nice surface for Post-it notes to adhere to. Inside them, I placed sheets of card stock (file folders, cut down to 8-1/2 × 11) for rigidity, and I put the whole mess in a 3-ring binder.“
It looks excellent and I’m sure Tammy really gets things done with it.
For me? I am trying the DIY Hipster PDA cards right now, see if it fits me. More on that in a later post!



I love it. Despite the marvels of digital technology, sometimes post-its are the most productive choice.
