1) Privately I use little pieces of scrap paper stapled together, just as you envision them. I cut them from used 8 1/2 by 11 printer paper. I make them large enough to take notes and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket comfortably (doesn’t get stuck going in and out of the pocket).

2) Publicly I have 3 little attractive (refillable) notepads in double hinged (at the top) leatherette covers. They are (a rather nice quality) promotional product that I picked up at a trade show. They were provided by Colliers International(a commercial real estate brokerage) and their name is embossed in the cover so it isn’t too visible. I highly recommend stopping by their booth to pick some up. When the pads run out, I staple my above referenced little pieces of scrap paper to the old cardboard from the original pad for refills. This pad is a little to large for my pocket so if I misplaced or forget it (seldom happens), I sneak out my other homemade pads from my shirt pocket.

3) At my desk, a legal pad, as I re-read this, maybe I’ll start reusing old printer paper (without cutting it). Also, MS OneNote

@Andrew

I carry my iPhone around and also have OmniFocus. But I use Notes2Self (cool voice recorder) on iPhone as my Ubiqitous Capture Device. It takes a second to start up and record a note. At the end of each day, I’ll type in all my voice notes into “system” (OmniFocus on a Mac).

I recommend giving Notes2Self a try, as it has a nice feature of just lifting the iphone to your ear to start recording, and putting the iphone back down to stop recording.

Of course, if I’m sitting at my computer, I’ll just type it into my “system” on the spot – OmniFocus at home, Tudumo at work.

Works great.

@Andrew Mason: The new Volant is a much better bet than the Cahier. I've been using one for a couple of months now and it sits unobtrusively in a back pocket with one of your excellent golf pencils attached.

Hey Andrew,
i think collecting is pointless, if you do not do the weekly review. its one of the most important (and i agree, for most people: the most lacking) part of the the whole methodology.

Im curious about the next post

@Max:

That is presuming everybody does the weekly review. From my research, it seems like the weekly review is one part of the GTD system that people struggle with. I know myself I have slipped with this due to time pressure, or what you perceive to be time pressure. I feel another post coming on

Thanks for the comment.

I think everybody could take the risk of loosing their Capturing device as long as the weekly/daily review is a habit!

I use a moleskin too and i try to “sync” it with my hightech System every two days.
