I find it astounding that someone went to the effort of making that video. Of the people who do use paper, who doesn't work like this, or do something very similar?
I don't. I love working with paper, but I have zero organization. So I end up with stacks of uneven paper pieces with notes all over the place.
For me this post has been really helpful. I am going to try this system out!
p.s. I have always found funny the sort of passive disdain organized people have for those that are not organized. As though organization is something that should be innate in everybody.
I am deeply disorganised myself. Without keeping track of things I'd be all over the place. I find the tactility of paper beats computer-based organisation solutions hands down.
But once you have a notepad in front of you I can't really see any other way of doing it, especially for someone with a technical type of brain. You need date headings, you need bullet points for items, you need tasks to check off, you need a way of representing ticked-off-ness and a way to carry tasks forward. The problem kind of defines the solution automatically.
