A while ago I switched from my only semi-functional pin board and cellphone¹⁾ based task management system to using a pocketbook. Because of this I also started talking with others about how they are managing their tasks as well as looking around the net and was surprised how many people I know used pocketbooks (Moleskines in particular) or had no real system at all.

The moleskine I use with the prototype of a pen-holder attached to it. The finished version might turn out remotely similar to this.

Due to this I figured it might be interesting to extend this discussion about task management to the few readers of this blog and therefore I have described the current iteration of my system below. Please feel free to describe your own system in the comments or better a linkback so we can learn from each other.

FYI My system has developed iteratively and is probably rather specific to my needs and therefore quite simplistic when compared to other systems (GTD, PigPogPDA, …). Should my system turn out to be too simple for your needs or should you just need some input have a look at the following links

  I'm not sure anymore how long ago I found this and how much I copied from it but it sure got some similarities ,)
