On: The joy of index cards (2009)

This reminds me of the Hipster PDA, a small collection of index cards for daily use held together with a binder clip.

Perhaps more relevant now than ever with our smartphones and their infinite capacity for distraction.

I've taken to carrying around small notebooks in my pocket recently.

I found that I never looked at notes written on my phone, but I do with paper.

It also has the advantage that I can tear pages out to give to people. No need to try and text a shopping list to someone when you can just give them one.
