What tools help you get organized?
Here’s some I like:
Project files
Index cards
Sticky notes
Label maker
Glue stick
Plastic vertical desktop file
Duraclip binders
I enjoy finding great information, combining it in new ways, and packaging it creatively. I'm highly interested in the areas of goal setting, time management, and skills to improve life.
I’m pretty low-tech. I have a DayTimer planner that takes care of my calendar, to-do lists, contacts, and on-the-go capture (note pad). For my GTD-style projects list I use a 2D layout of small sticky notes, but it’s really just a list. I also use the usual office tools, including the classic Dymo QX50 labeler, ala David Allen.
For reading books (I try to read a lot), I have an inexpensive Sony cassette tape recorder that I dictate into while reading (usually while exercising).
