I was introduced a few weeks ago to this great little device which can save disorganized and chaotic lives. It shows you that in this world with electronics priced at overly eye-gouging numbers and with high schoolers and college students who only have $50 of spending money for luxury products because they bought the newest high-end computer which will either blow up in the next month or be succeeded by anew product. (mac book pro anyone?)can't afford a blackberry? Or like me, think that PDAs are a waste of money for something that in essence is an expensive to-do list?
- get a bunch of 3"x5" file cards ( here's 500 for around 3 bucks)
- clip them together with a binder clip
- there is no step 3
Taken from merlin mann's site, 43folders.com the Hipster PDA is a lightweight and simple device which has all the core functions of a regular PDA, sans Wi-fi and GPS of course but having this around is a way to write things down without a stylus but rather any writing utensil at your disposal.
At the end of the day take all of the notecards you've written on out and review them, sort out reference, trash, projects, and to do's. A lifesaver for High Schoolers who can't bring PDAs into the school and those who lose their planner (we have a planner?) the first two milliseconds it's given to you. That and in a big meeting where everyone brings out their electronic PDAs and blackberries, you can flash out the hPDA and be the envy of everyone in the classroom or office.
