I am all for down-sizing and will give this methos a try. I have read GTD (David Allen) but confess I have never implimented it. You are correct about using the laptop for everything ... it can lead to great distraction. How many times have I been working on a sermon and email pops up, a thought on photography pops into my head and I am off searching on the net to find something or that has nothing to do with what I was doiing ... "serm" work. Again thanks for sharing. Joe … thanks for the insights. I am all for down-sizing and will give this methos a try. I have read GTD (David Allen) but confess I have never implimented it.

You are correct about using the laptop for everything … it can lead to great distraction. How many times have I been working on a sermon and email pops up, a thought on photography pops into my head and I am off searching on the net to find something or that has nothing to do with what I was doiing … “serm” work.

Again thanks for sharing.

I've been using two Moleskines (one for sermons and one for work) for about two years now and it's been wonderful. I've been much more productive than using an electronic organizer. Differe people have different needs. Thanks for this link! I’ve been using two Moleskines (one for sermons and one for work) for about two years now and it’s been wonderful.

I am trying to think through time and money. Regardless, I would love to get together with you over coffee. Send me an e-mail with your pearl number and I will give you a call. I have an idea brewing and wanted to see what you thought about your time visiting. I will be in the city, no doubt. I am trying to think through time and money.

So it's Inbox and Projects. Having all of my projects with me at all times is great. I allow on to three pages for each project with an index in the front. I keep a list of names I regularly pray for in the back as well, no tabs. Here's a bad cellphone photo of my tabs. <img src="http://www.joethorn.net/images/tabs.jpg"/> Like he recommends (minus the “someday tab” – I don’t use it). So it’s Inbox and Projects.

And how do you have your tabs set up in your Moleskine? Joe, I’m assuming you’re asking the other Matt about TFTG.

And how do you have your tabs set up in your Moleskine?

Is that integrated with your Pearl? I was wondering if you use any kind of calendar or planner to keep up with appointments and such. Is that integrated with your Pearl?
