Containing your thoughts - How do you archive your 3x5's?
I have a little project in the works over at Levenger for 3x5's. As an experiment, I'd like to try and get some community input. I thought this might be a neat opportunity for members to influence product development in its initial stages.
Topic: vertical desktop index card organizers & storage
As part of the brainstorming process, I'd like to learn more from long-time 3x5 users.
*- What kinds of Actions, Ideas, Contacts, and Etc do you archive?
*- How do you divide your stored cards between active [regular use] and inactive/reference [longer than a month]?
*- What functional elements are important to you in a stationary filing system?
[* Index Card Filing Cabinet * Wooden Card Catalogs * Recipe Boxes *]
What works with these types of containers, and what would an ideal 3x5 organizing tool look like?
This an opportunity to collaboratively co-create a new product, and also to share your experiences and organization stories with the crowd.
What would you like to see?
From the hip: Long Term / Reference
For anything I would want to keep on hand for a long period of time, I usually digitize it for storage and print it out as necessary when the current working copy either wears out or is outdated.
Example: Address Book
I keep several blank pages handy for new info, but I update my e-address-book regularly and re-print it periodically. Usually when I run out of blank space.
Is that the kind of thing you are wanting ?

Containing 3x5's
I'm actually interested more in physical storage units for 3x5's that would remain on a desk.
I've seen a few folks over at 43F go so far as to order small library-style card catalogs to help them organize.
[I've developed a bizarre fondness for those fixtures now absent from the modern library - probably best for another topic.]
What would innovative 3x5 desktop filing look like?
Lotsa Little Boxes :)
How about something like the Tasker Card Box with a lid ?

Notecard Management
*- What kinds of Actions, Ideas, Contacts, and Etc do you archive?
-> I typically archive Agendas, Project Planners, and Notes from various meetings.
*- How do you divide your stored cards between active [regular use] and inactive/reference [longer than a month]?
-> Inactive cards usually get put into my tickler system (43 folders), or in a someday/maybe file.
*- What functional elements are important to you in a stationary filing system?
-> Not sure what you're looking for here, but I'm currently grappling with the best way to keep cards neat within my files. I'm experimenting with a home made "info pocket" within letter-sized manila folders. I also made a few notecard size file folders to use. I'm trying to avoid notecards falling out of my files when I toss them on my desk.
Card Filing
I have two boxes. One has a hinged lid, the other has a separate lid that is rarely used. The hinged lid box is about 6x6x4 (inches) made of wood, the other is closer to a foot long, made of snap-together paperboard.
Usually the wood box is the 'current/active' box and the other box is the 'done & spares' box. In the active box I used a 43 folders organization for most of my cards, but also some project tabs and A-Z tabs for contact info. In the done/spares box, I had tabs for each type of spare card and tabs for the months.
Stuff stays in the 'active' box until it's 'done' unless it's project-related, in which case it stays in the 'active' box until the whole project is done. Once it's done, then the card moves to the 'done' box, in front of the tab for the current month.
I don't have a box for 'future' or 'reference' the way folks might if they were using their cards for ideas rather than actions. I only use mine for actions, generally. Someday/maybe is a 'project' in my system, so the stuff on that list gets filed in the 'active' box until I actually do whatever the action is.
For the monthly, daily, and A-Z tabs, I used off-the-shelf tabs. For the others, I used ordinary cards with stick-on tabs and handwritten labels. I also used a mini-stapler to attach 'overflow' cards to the top card of a topic (like meeting notes), and bright-colored sticky notes (long and narrow) to flag important things coming down the pipeline or modify the content of a 'recurring' card. Stuff that was 'done' and more than three months old or so would get bound with a rubber band so it could be moved to 'out of sight' storage.
So a 'bundle' for a filing set would be at least one set of A-Z, 1-31, and Jan-Dec tabs, a couple packs of plain or ruled cards, a pen, a mini-stapler, and a set of neon sticky notes. An extra pack of monthly tabs wouldn't be bad, but might not be necessary. Same same for rubber bands.
I used all my cards in landscape orientation.. :)
Categories and Tabs for 3x5 Organizing
Great stuff! Your description made it very easy to visualize your setup.
I also appreciate your detailed suggestion for what should be included in a component bundle to make the containers function.
Quarter Letter
Hi Ryan.
Just a caveat.. I am moving now to a quarter-letter rollabind instead of 3x5 cards. Working on a similar arrangement in the new size, but obviously I have trouble with the storage box in this size. :) It would fit in a 4x6 wood box, maybe, but now I'm using paper instead of cards so they wouldn't stand up alone as well.
Anyway, what I'm getting at is that the lovely clear description may not apply to anyone else--and it doesn't apply very much to me anymore either! :)
You could print on card stock
Instead of printing your forms onto regular paper, use card stock. Then they'll stand in your boxes. Just a thought!
Sorry to veer off topic - my bad ;-)
For the record, and to stay on-topic, I don't archive cards myself. My shirt pocket brief is filled with short-term notes and blank personalized cards (that I did myself in Illustrator - thanks for the idea, Levenger!). Cards are almost purely a collection tool with no need to save them.
i'm new to 3x5s but
I thought I would mention how I will be handling any 3x5 from my hPDA that needs to be archived or stored...
I have a recipe style box with an attached lid. It is inexpensive and plastic but... a fancier more expensive device will be on my wishlist once I decide if 3x5s are truly for me.
I like the idea of this: Moleskine accordian file ... Maybe there a circa version possible or a fancier upscale type rendition. I will be looking for something similar to this on my bargain sale trips to the local stores. I like to test out things before I invest :o)
I think it is really great how Levenger is interested in consumer feedback for existing products AND product development! I wish more companies adopted this connection with their customers...

Musically Off Topic...
Hi Sara, If you like the Moleskine accordion file why not make your own?
Wow~Thanks much! This site is overflowing with useable things~!
I'll have to add this to my list of "ToDos"...
I found THIS during my adventures today...
Not sure which one would be more applicable to my needs.

additional thoughts
I used to use 3x5s for contact management. I printed out address labels with phone numbers and other contact info, and attached them to 3x5 cards. I then used these cards to call. When I called, the date and time were written, and then the response. If the call was successful, and I got a meeting, I had a tickler section in my "box" where, upon filling out the meeting info, the card would go to have a letter written and printed. Once that was done, it would go into my tickler for follow-up 2 weeks before the meeting date. If a call did not produce a meeting, but requested more information, or maybe a further followup call, the card would go to yet another appropriate section. I had the typical 43 sections of a tickler file, but also separate slots for upcoming years (I think 2 years in advance). Oh, I also had two ticklers--one for meetings, and one for other contacts. If a contact went "inactive" I also had an alphabetic file for those cards, which I have never thrown out. I stopped using that system after a couple years, when the number of cards got to unwieldy for me, but I have always looked fondly on that time. It was visible and visceral. I adapted my computer software to emulate that process, but nothing has equaled it.
I have always wished I had a good system for storing and organizing my file cards. If I had had something beyond recipe boxes, it might not have failed so dramatically (lost opportunities, missed followup calls, etc. due to the complexities of trying to keep on top of my cards while simultaneously traveling all over the States).
And since people who use 3x5s are likely to be both mobile, and needing of long-term storage, something that can help with both is what I think would be needed. My first thought is of some sort of briefcase-sort of carrying device, with top access, rather than front. What would also have been nice for me would have been the ability to quickly grab a subset of cards, and have something ultraportable to carry them in, without the potential for losing or scrambling them up. One thought I have is of pockets to put the cards into, but to make them expandable without being unwieldy seems an impossible task to me. :-)
However, if I think of it this way--a small briefcase where in you put the entire "drawer" or slide of cards intact would have been nice. The travel case also has to be able to be carried in multiple orientations without spilling or scrambling its guts all over inside.
One other benefit of having the top open in any system is to aid in quick and easy sorting and filing. I used to work in a library, and mucking with many card catalogs was an effort in frustration, as it seems my library liked to overstuff their catalogs. ;-) Some system that offers both security and quick access would be the bee's knees.
But I do like the idea mentioned of providing a rather complete set of dividers--complete tickler, with years, A-Z, number, maybe also 1-10? or even 1-50? And maybe multiples of all of them.
Looking back, it seems my demands are rather high--portable, yet stationary, open, easy access, yet secure. Small, yet large.
I don't know how much help my thoughts were, but hope you can find something of use here.
3x5 brief case
jonglass, check out this item from Pennzoni. I think it may interest you.

You might like to visit http://www.pileofindexcards.com/
This blogger has set up an extensive index card system and has come up with some storage solutions. He might have some more ideas for you if you contacted him.
check out pile of indexcards and inno's thoughts
Definitely check the above pile of indexcards website out. I saw it last December and have actually been using the methodology here with my hipster to capture notes. And so far, it's been the BEST methodology for me to even capture everything in my head.
I'm using the Oxford quad ruled cards in a landscape format to capture the details of the idea. One idea per card, marked and annotated as per pile of indexcards. Currently at work (where I seem to do most of my capturing) I use a Sakura Gel Pen to write and mark cards. But I have not forsaken DIY's forms. For the times I use those cards to capture ideas, I turn them from portrait down to landscape and then mark the edges just as I would the quad card. Once I've capture the desired idea on card and have finished using it, I move it to a long term 3x5 storage box. And I keep everything, every single card. Right now, storage is not an issues for me as I just started and I write maybe 2-5 cards a day, but I can see that keeping these records over years... may become an issue. But I won't worry about that until I get there.
Honestly, I've been wondering what gear I could use from Levenger to make this easier and I know that your new Tasker Card Holder is almost perfect for what I've thought about as the best way to grab blank cards and start writing on them, as I'll ever see. And it holds pens! I'm contemplating getting one of those but would not need all the tracker cards. The tabs are great but they're also printed... how about a set of blanks for our custom use? So I'm waiting until you give us an option to buy without all the cards. If I do like this box, you realize I will buy another for work. :)
As far as storage boxes goes, I definitely want something more stylish than the boxes I have. The storage box I currently use is a plain 3x5 box that snaps together and has a slip on and off lid. It's black and the snaps sorta make it look nice but it's not what I intended on getting for this setup. I want something sturdier and maybe wood. The one thing I've noticed that the storage box could use is some device to hold cards up without falling over. Currently I use a few unopened decks of index cards stacked lengthwise to keep the cards from toppling over. What I'd like to see is a system in the box that spring loads to help keep the cards straight up and down, or gives me the freedom to slide a piece of wood back a notch as I add more cards. I'd prefer the sliding wood-notch method better I think, seems a bit classier.
I also agree that there needs to be a component bundle of standard monthly cards (or numbered, or lettered, etc.) offered in nice colors. I have a set of month cards and have been using them, but I'm not sure why I really need these other than to see how many cards I use up in a month. Of course, this may change as I add more cards throughout this year and see what I'm doing with the cards. So I'd like the option to have blank tabbed cards (both in portrait and landscape tabs) so I can write on them with my own categories.
Of course, having a better card stock of quad-ruled index cards would also help big time. Pile of Indexcards mentions a brand that is only purchasable in Japan but they seem to be cut exactly the same every time. Over here, the only option we have is Oxford. And I hate how Oxford's cards are not cut identically every time. I'd love to use your brand of index cards but the quad ruled is contained in a small area and I would want it to extend fully to at least one width and one length so I can utilize more space per card.
I didn't mean for this message to be so long, but apparently I feel passionate about this sort of equipment. It also gives a good peek into how I use the cards and what works best for me as well. I can take pictures of my gear and what I do to each card for more proof of concept, if you'd like.
But yeah, storage boxes for 3x5 cards have GOT to be better than what I've seen in Office Depot or Craft Warehouse. Ugh.
3x5 Storage
Thanks for the lead to Hawk's site. I think he has some great ideas. His workflow is pretty impressive.
I came across a box that has a mechanism that would keep the cards upright. I thought you might like to take a look: Brian Stiko's Flickr Stream
I'm excited to see the reaction to the Tasker box. I also agree with you about the value of some blank tabs. We have two versions: ADS3725 WH & ADS3855. They aren't currently up on the website, but they are in the stores. link to photo
I'm hearing a lot of support for some alphabetical and 43F tabs.

Pictures are always great. I bet others on here might like to see them too.
Vertical tabs
Ryan, those vertical tabs are SUPER SWEET. Are they plastic? Or cardstock? Looks like plastic. I need some! They don't come up on the website yet. Why don't you open a store in my town, hmmm?
I love that oak card dispenser on Brian Sticko's site. That's fantastic.
Innowen, please do post photos. I enjoyed your article "What's in my hPDA" I think it was called so much. You made me want to go 3x5 again, and now if we get all these groovy accessories, I will have no choice!
pictures coming...soonish....
Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I'll take pictures soon and post them somewhere on my domain (guess no time like the present to get the gallery application up and running, right?) so you can all see what toys I've been currently using.
If you loved my hipsterPDA article... and you're interested in index cards... then wait until I post my article tonight, you'll LOVE what I'm writing, right now. :)
Ever the tease...
vertical storage?
I've used an empty 3x3 note pad holder that was about 3 inches high to store 3x5 cards vertically. Dunno if you can get those separately, without the note paper. You could also use a suitably sized pen cup, and there's a few of those in Levenger's catalog.
Some 3x5 index card boxes, if they're deep enough from front to back, can be used to store cards vertically. I often used index card boxes for storing 3.5" diskettes, stacked vertically. If you're thinking about developing a product, you might consider developing index card tabs that are oriented vertically too, to go with your storage solution.
Remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

3x5 holders
Hi. I am very happy to have found this site because I am a 3x5 index card person from way back. I am always on the lookout for accessories and new card styles.
My husband constructed a small open-topped box for my blank cards to be stored horizontally. He carved a "half moon" shape out of one of the short sides for easy card retrieval. It works very nicely. He also made a large wooden storage box for me complete with leftover countertop material for that "classy look" (We were redoing our kitchen at the time. It's about the size of a large shoebox with a wooden divder. Each side, however, is just big enough to house the cards-very nice also. It would probably be nice to have a hinged lid.
I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see pictures of your husband's handiwork! ;-) Can you post pics here on on the DIYPlanner group on Flickr? Thanks!
Hi Jon: We will try to send those 2 pictures a little later in the week when I go back to work. Work is where my large container is and I have the small one here at home. My husband can't believe what he did was any big deal but he also doesn't know how talented he is either.
3x5 container pictures
Hi The pictures of my husband's "creations" are here www.flickr.com/photos/circa. I will love to hear feedback. Please note the container he made with 2 sections matches our countertop. I really love it.
Very, very handsome!
My father was very handy with building things, too -- I still have several 'custom fitted' sets of shelves and a hutch and a neat revolving desk-top book case he made for me in college.
Exactly what you need, built for you with love.
Nothing's better.
3x5 use
Jon: I am thrilled that there is a site for 3x5 enthusiasts ! I have had a wish to put my "whole life" on 3x5s. Any idea if anyone else has done that? I am talking about daily to do lists , projects, routines and the like.
3x5 for everything
I did for a while last year. My wood box wasn't very portable, though, so I've modified my approach quite a bit since then.
I wonder about a wooden box with a handle; something not cumbersome. Do they make anything in plastic that would accommodate the 3x5s? Levenger? Can you talk about how you modified your approach or did you already go into that ? Thanks for any feedback you may have. Circa
My evolution
My original boxed system is described *here*, along with my musings and prototypings of the next system I tried. That one is pictured *here*.
From there, I went to a Classic sized paper-based system (rather than cards and pockets) very briefly. I got sick of the huge thing sprawled over my desk and the utter impossibility of finding a purse to fit the dang thing in.
Then I reduced down to a pair of inexpensive transparent 4x6 photo albums from Target, with tabs attached 43 folders style. One album had the days, the other the months, contacts, etc. I thought that one was going to stick, but while it addressed the portability issue, it still felt too bulky, because I was still using a card per task (or per cluster of closely related tasks).
So I reduced down to a quarter-page paper set and made the leap to Rollabind/Circa binding with transparent plastic covers to reduce thickness. Now my system looks like the pictures posted *here*. I also have a couple of other rolla-bound books for reference materials that I don't carry with me all the time, and a 'back pocket jotter' made from index cards and rolla discs for capture away from my planner (like when I'm in the laundry room and think of something I need to do/buy/whatever). These are all shown in the 'notebooks' set on Flickr.
If you scout round that Flickr link, you'll see more shots of what I did before and what I'm doing now.
Mostly I went from having one-card-per-task in a wood box to having a GTD-style list of actions on a page or two, with dated schedule pages for planning and record keeping. It's a shift in assumptions--it reduces the total quantity of paper required to keep my to-dos and schedule, and it removes all the space hungry plastic pockets as well as the monstrous leather covers.
Now my planner fits in my purse--the purse I already had, rather than buying a giant sack with a strap. I use the 4x6 photo album as a coupon organizer instead. The wood box now carries spare index cards. The binders are relegated to shelves in the back room, waiting for the next time they attract my attention.
One other question
Hi Shris: What about planners? I have had a Franklin Planner for years but still haven't used it even close to its potential. You opinion on planners please.
Shris on Planners
I like leather. It's pretty and reasonably durable. But it's thick and heavy. I am annoyed by the proprietary ring setups, and 3-ring seems somehow flimsy. The systems created by the people trying to sell you paper are fine as far as they go--but the systems are designed one particular way and if that doesn't really suit you perfectly, the planner is going on a shelf in the not-too-distant future. I've done it a half dozen times or more with Franklin Covey myself.
If you want the ideal system, look at what you are doing today--look at what works and what doesn't work, what you like and what you don't. Identify the problems you are trying to solve and which bits don't need to be fixed.
From your 'definition of the problem' then you can brainstorm possible solutions. Don't judge any solution until you've run out of ideas to write down. Once you've exhausted your own creativity in coming up with possible solutions, read around here for what other people have done and grab a few more ideas. Read a couple of the recommended books and see if their approaches appeal to you.
Once you have your ideas list, then you can go back and evaluate each one's pros and cons, what it fixes, what it breaks, and what it doesn't address. You can rule some out at this point, and maybe add a few hybrids to your idea list too.
Keep going over the list until one rises to the top in your mind as the one you think most likely to succeed and try that one first. You might consider buying any necessary gear used to start with, just to save yourself a few bucks. Evaluate your system after a month--identify gaps, etc. And see if it really is your ideal system.
If it's not your ideal yet, keep tweaking.
Personally, I am still tweaking but I am thrilled with how my latest system is working out so far, two months into it. :)
Ah, yeah, if this method of arriving at perfection seems too fussy to you, then you need a different problem solving approach--one that suits your way of working. I happen to be rather picky and very much an analyzer. :)
Hi I too am picky and very analytical especially about the planner. First of all, thank you very much for the time and thought you put into answering my question. Yes, it helps a lot. I am going to immediately start taking notes about what does and doesn't work etc. Thanks.
I currently have the classic planner from Franklin Covey. A few years ago I thought I wanted a compact. I bought one but could tell fairly soon that I didn't like it. I am very happy to say that they took it back so I could have a classic. I appreciated that and have to respect the company for that but I am still not satisfied with my planner. Your ideas give me something to go on. My dream is to have the ideal planner for what I do. My current planner case is soft leather in dark red with a zipper. I do like that part. Are there people out there who totally like their Franklin Planners or are most as frustrated as I am? I did look at the Circa from Levenger which looked interesting to me, but of course, I need to think before i buy. Probably the more I can make it my own the better. I will look forward to your further input. Thanks a million already !
used a franklin for a few years...
I've used a Franklin planner for a few years and have this to say... If you're happy with your planner and it mostly works for you, I wouldn't jump systems. You may want to consider just getting the hole punch - the metal one - for Classic size pages from Franklin Covey and print out the pages you feel that Franklin Covey planner is missing.
I'd tried to have all the information I need for my job and personal life in one planner, but the amount of stuff I have to do for my job quickly have reached the point where all this doesn't all fit in one planner. I'm still tweaking my system, but more and more it is looking like two Circa notebooks (one for personal one for work) and a backpack may be the way to go.
HiKenny I appreciate your input on the planner. I think you are on to something. i have already decided to "give my Franklin another try" this weekend by pulling everything out and putting back only what I think I need and will use. I do have a metal hole punch for it and will follow your idea of putting in that which Franklin doesn't supply. thanks again.
Pile of Index cards?
There is a Japanese fellow who has documented his life via 3x5s. It is _very_ detailed, and goes way beyond simple todo lists, project, etc. He calls it "Pile of Index Cards". He is _way_ over the top! But makes a great read--and he has some great ideas also. I believe he has some pics on Flickr, too.
Oh, and speaking of Flickr, check out this guy: Link
hawk's my idol
Hawk's my idol. I stumbled on his site about december and my note taking habits have improved so much, thanks to his capture methods.
I love the tagging idea and the symbols and it's so easy and fun to do.
Hawk's site
Do you have the site for Hawk? I would like to see that.
Here you go
The main site is his blog, with links to a wiki and flickr documentation.
It's interesting to read through, and he has some good ideas on how to use cards for idea capture and notetaking. A problem is that you can't get grid index cards that work here in the US, because of the way they are printed. And his system doesn't allow for any sort of searchable organization, so it seems pretty useless to me. Why save thousands of index cards if you can't realistically find anything you put on them?
it works for me
I use the grid american cards. yes, it's uneven... but you can still see a pattern. Once I'm done with the cards I *do* have, I'm going to switch to levenger's Grid cards to see just how well those do.
I think he relies on the review phase once a week to quickly remind him of each card. plus he inputs them all into his computer so he CAN search them all.
At least that's what I think. So far I've had no issues quickly searching the hundred or so cards I've got since I started this last december.
ooo do you
ooo do you have pics of your stuff Inno ? I'd love to see how your setup is in comparison to Hawk's. ((I know... I'mma geek hehe))
i will... soon
funny you mention that sara. I have an index card from 2/15/07 that says
Take pictures of my tools and add them to flicker. and write up a blurb on use and pros/cons.
I just need some time to sit down with all my gear and get some good shots. Maybe I'll do it this weekend...
(of course, I have friends coming into town for the whole week, so I may not get to this. I'll let you all know when I'm able to post them to my flicker account).
Thanks for the interest in my gear!
fancy quotes (off topic)
Innowen... how do you do the fancy block quote thing? :D I must know your secrets!
html magic
First, I use the HTML blockquote tag (which won't show up here when I post its syntax).
Then I set the Input format located below the entry box, to FULL HTML.
This allows for the kewl quote box you see when I use it in articles and posties.
Blockquoting doesn't work
for me.
as seen here:
First, I use the HTML blockquote tag (which won't show up here when I post its syntax).
but the cite tag works:
First, I use the HTML blockquote tag (which won't show up here when I post its syntax).
Also, in my web browser, (Omniweb) I don't see anything about "full html". Maybe that's my problem? It's a Safari-based browser, and maybe Safari doesn't allow for this trick...
I fixed your blockquote attempt.
When you post a new comment or a reply to a comment, do you see a text link called "input format" under the big comment box (the box that you type in the body of your comment)?
if you do, click on that and select the option: FULL HTML. This will allow you to use the blockquote tag.
If you don't, then it may be your web browser as you said. I'm on a pc at work and will need to test this theory out on safari at home later.
hope this helps,
Permissions thing.
For layout and security reasons, not everyone has the "Full HTML" input format available. But, I have added
<blockquote> to the list of tags that the "Filtered HTML" input format allows. So, quote away!
oh, got ya
Thanks eric...
It never occurred to me that it was a permissions thing. All i know is that sara and i have the right accounts to do it.
So, quote away!
HEhehehehEHhehehh ::scooby doo laugh::
Let's see if this thing works
I fixed your blockquote attempt.
Does it? It does!!!! Thanks Eric!!! I think this will help in several ways....
1. We can now quote, and make it obvious, and
2. It's so much classier to see this over bland "" marks or worse>> marks. ;-) Thanks again!
I see...
Hi Inno,
I hadn't run across anything in his blog/wiki about putting things into the computer. That would explain some things. I understand about the weekly review to refresh yourself, but it still seems as if you'd lose track of it eventually. Once the stack in your dock is large enough that you didn't review all of it, then you'd have to lose contact over time.
Hawk's collection/notation concepts are great, I agree. But I think for ease of review/reference, you'd need some sort of system other than chronological. I don't think you would keep all that many for reference, really. Those could be sorted by project or whatever, and filed away in a David Allen style refrence filing system. Most cards are shorter-term things that would eventually be tossed. I recall Hawk discussing that to some degree.
Just my POV...
Blessed Be!
In Awe!
Jon, that Flickr link is amazing! First of all, I am in awe of anyone that can commit to one system to that extent. Plus, those are some cool accessories, not to mention quite a few bucks spent too. Now I have the bleacher itch again.
It gets worse! (or better!)
For some reason, I did a Google(R) search for the pile of index cards link, and found this rather innovative use for index cards. Check this out
Nifty! Now, how can I integrate this with Keynote? ;-)
3x5s and planners
Thanks. I will check that site out. I just eat this stuff up. Most of my friends laugh at my "organizational" pursuits but I have loved this topic since I was a kid. Thanks.
Use of color and style
Any interesting (or not so interesting) ways of using color and style of 3x5s? I am aware of the sticky ones, the green pink blue yellow ones, marbled, graph, and of course lined and unlined white> Does anyone besides me get made fun of for this obsession? I have my entire work list for the Christmas season on 3x5s. I can easily make my lists from this handy stack.
colored 3x5s
I had a color-coded system set up in my box for a while. Solid neons were for work (yellow for meetings, pink for high priority projects..), solid pastels were work related tasks (administrative, routine, project-related), striped pastels for home. Lined white for ordinary notes. Purple solid for personal stuff, like visitors coming, vacations somewhere else, etc.
So my box was vivid to say the least. I loved all the colors.
After a while I got tired of always running out of neon yellow before I'd used up the other neons--since they're only available in assortments around here. Same with stripes. I tried rearranging my system so that the colors had different meanings that ran out of cards more evenly, but it didn't work. :)
I still keep some neons in my back pocket jotter, but they're just there for pretty, not for coding. :) I love the bright neon colors.
Hi Jon: My husband is making a set of bleachers out of yard sticks and it is looking pretty nice right now. He needs more sticks but the hardware is closed much to his dismay so he will probably finish it tomorrow night. At that time we will try to get all three items on here so you can see what he has done. We also have yet another idea which we will describe tomorrow. Yes, he believes I am a little nutty about office supplies, 3x5s and planners but he is very supportive as you can see. More later.
Patiently waiting....
_very_ patiently.....
.....tap. tap. tap. (goes the foot) rap. rap. rap... (go the fingers) ;-)
....Seriously. I like you husband. He's an inspiration to me without my having met him! :-)
Trust me when I say the vertical 5x3 dilemma is much greater than you and I. From my research, there certainly is a demand for such a product. I have once found in an "in flight magazine†on a Japanese airline (ANA) a type of wood library card file (vertical orientation) for $150. I never was able to find it again.
I soon looked into other storage options with no luck. Some stationary boxes, such as the one offered by Crane & Co looked nice (but was not in proper format – 5x3). I set about the task of finally designing my own (but never built it). One design was set up like a library card catalog (but vertical) the other was based on a jewelry box I saw with swing out drawers of about 1/2†in depth. It basically was a stack of about 8 draws and kept the minimalist principles that many of us strive for. I gave up on trying to make it (even though it's a simple design) and just bought the box that I have featured on my photo set. The drawers on that box allow me to store two stacks of 50 preprinted templates (side by side-lying flat). It's a tight squeeze, but it's good for storing spares. The acrylic boxes that you see on my desk are for daily use and I recharge them with the spares from that chest of draws.
If I could design the perfect storage box, It would have a small foot print on my desk or book shelf (say three drawers wide and not too deep—no more 300 cards). Drawers would have enough height to allow pressboard tabbed dividers. It would feature square hammered drawer pulls such as:
The "perfect box†would feature dove tail construction…or if that was not cost effective, I would feature a storage cubby on top of the box like the one featured here
(A place to nest my Levenger PDA case when I get to work and pull out my HPDA and place it on the Tri-par easel on my desk.
I would hope the face of the drawers had a small brass window so I can label the drawers. I would label my drawer: Someday Maybe, 43 Folders, and probably Contacts.
Lastly, the drawers would need small followers (like on the library charging trays that I use). The charging trays are one of my favorite items but I don't always like the open face design. I have mine set up in 43 folders format (with 31 days and 12 month dividers).
Do know that from time to time you will see old apothecary cabinets or old library file cabinets (on e-bay) with vertical storage (albeit they are hard to come by and quite expensive).
I would be willing to spend $250 for the dream box I just described to you…call me crazy but I like Levenger quality meets antique library card file.
If you have any influence to make such a dream possible…you're my personal hero.
Also, check out some of these ideas—Know that most of the links feature drawers that allow you to lay the cards flat while others are set up for vertical storage. Everything that I find falls short of the ideal product in some way or form.

Second Box Design
I wanted to paint a good visual of the second box that I conceptually designed so you can get the idea. The primary use for such a box is for storage of 3x5 card templates (not vertical storage for action items).
The best way to describe it is to share a photo of something similar. This is the best thing that I can come up with.
Boxology: http://www.boxology.com/Kellam_Tower_p/078-71s.htm
Of course the swing-out or swivel drawers would be squared (not rounded as indicated in the link). Would recommend that they be sized to fit 50 to 100 cards per tray and not be oversized. I Would recommend cutting a half-moon notch out of the edge of each tray to allow the user to fish out cards with ease.
Each drawer is attached at only one corner (hence allowing the drawer to "swing outâ€). It has a small foot print and would be very useful and attractive to put on a desk. I would be willing to pay about $125 for a box like this. My current system of plastic boxes (see my photo stream) spreads too far across a desk and this box design would take the place of that current system.
Check out these other links to get an idea on how the swing out drawers appear in other models.
Off the subject a bit…I like this box's potential as well:

Anyone heard of T Cards?
I stumbled across this company called Strafoplan, which manufactures T Cards for company organisation and planning. Their website is
- http://www.strafoplan.com
Additionally, they manufacture this wonderful looking box which is perfect for 3x5 cards: Link
However, I have no idea how to get my hands on one of these..
You know...just when I thought I had all the best toys...you come along with such a great idea.
I've never seen these T-Cards and I think they have great potential. Problem is I still have 11 months till Christmas.
Anyway, I found a US distributer based in SC http://www.copartusa.com/desk.html. Check out this website. If you buy any items...let us know how they work out. I'll do the same.
have u seen this?
T card "portfolio"? I wonder if this would work with just regular index cards? I know there is another post in here somewhere about a set up like this...
ooo DIY
I feel a DIY project coming on... Duct tape would make this type of thing very easy... granted experience with duct tape helps.
If I get adventurous this weekend, I'll post results. (below zero temperatures in the forecast)

I will be "playing" with my planners this weekend too as we will be in the negatives this weekend - time to hybernate!
nay nay
I decided that I am going to take my Franklin Planner apart this weekend; discard or put away what I don't use and maybe increase pagers on what I do use. I hope that helps. I never thought about taking it apart before as it seemed to be a more "use it as it is presented" system. I'm not afraid of it anymore. It's there to serve my needs, not vise versa.
T-cards were proabably the
T-cards were proabably the main inspiration for the slip method I use, but without the horizontal tags, so probably more like 'I' cards (sans serif). Used in my original planner , and the updated version using magnets. LINK
I've been reading up on Circa and Rollabinder type products. What I'd love to see, after seeing this post: http://www.avwrites.com/wordpress/?p=5 would be some notebooks that are fairly thick (2" rings maybe?) with a place to label it. Colored rings just don't cut it for me. Also, those Jotz notebooks are only available in 8.5" x 11" letter size. Having those available in letter size, "classic" size (sorry, still using Franklin planners, not sure what else to call them) and index card size would be great.
I've tried using the Circa
I've tried using the Circa 1" rings and found the notebook pages a bit hard to turn. So 2" rings would be overkill, I think. Then again, Levenger recently introduced 1½" rings.
My preferred ring size is the 3/4" rings.
ring size
chet - i agree with you on the ring size. it seems the larger they are the harder to turn pages... may mean we need more paper in the notebook? i don't know if that would help. but, I like the 3/4" size the best!
nay nay
nay nay - I don't think it's
nay nay - I don't think it's a matter of more pages. I think the circumference of the ring is just too big for the paper to be turned quickly. It's happened to me before - I'm in a meeting and trying to turn a page without drawing attention to what I'm doing! 1" and above is probably good for archiving Circa pages. Ryan - any thoughts on this?
> 1" rings
My experience has been the same. With 1" rings (and the new 1 1/2"), unless you are in the middle of the notebook, turning the pages easily requires lifting the pages a little bit to compensate for the bigger flipping radius.
I tend to stick with the 3/4" for regular mobile use. I also keep a stationary 1 1/2" translucent notebook at home for storage.
I'm sure one could learn the technique for turning pages around larger rings in a mobile notebook; I simply haven't tried it because of the weight of all of the extra paper I would invariably stuff within the extra space. [I've noticed that keeping the rings full seems to add more strength to the spine.]
Mold marks
One of the things I have noticed with my jumbo rings is that the mold marks are sometimes just enough to grab the paper edges.
These are Rolla rings, not circa. I do not know if the Circa rings are carefully polished after they're unmolded and trimmed. If you can see a spot on the ring (probably a small circle) from where it was made, it could be grabbing the paper.
The test for this is to find the spots and turn the rings until the spots are 'away' from the paper while the notebook is open flat on a surface. Then turn a page or a section of pages. Then spin one of the rings until the spot starts to impinge upon the paper. If you feel any kind of scraping at all, then the mold mark is not helping you.
I used a small knife blade to smooth out the mold marks on the rings in my notebook and it helped a lot. The smaller rings don't seem to have this problem as much mostly because there's less paper to scrape against, seemingly. The mold marks on my small and medium rings are just as pronounced (and the same size and relative positioning) as the jumbo marks.
One thing I don't understand about any of the rings--some of mine have textured centers, and some have smooth centers. Why wouldn't they all be smooth? A textured center is going to rub on the paper edges and provide 'drag' when turning the pages. Goofy. Makes me want to get out a dremel and buff the texture off.
Anyway, check your mold marks and see if they're getting in the way on your big notebooks. A little scraping might make your opening and closing smoother.
Mold marks question
One of the things I have noticed with my jumbo rings is that the mold marks are sometimes just enough to grab the paper edges.
Are these marks on the outer edge or on the indise of the disc ?
"I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." (Calvin and Hobbes/Bill Waterson)
Mold marks
Hi ygor.
They're on the outer edge--the curved 'mushroom cap' part.
There's a horizontal seam that runs around the outside part of the ring--this isn't the problem.
At one point around the edge of the outside, above or below the seam, there's a small round blemish. This is from where the plastic was injected into the mold. When the piece is removed from the mold, they remove the 'flash' but there's a blemish left behind. This blemish is the problem on my rings. At least, it's part of the problem. It may not be the whole reason why rings grab.
I use a small sharp blade and drag it across the blemish to smooth it out--not slice, drag. The plastic is soft enough that this removes a small curl of plastic. It also provides tactile feedback about whether the spot is smooth. On my rings, the blemish looks like a small divot or pit. But there's something there that sticks up just a hair above the surface of the ring, and that's the bit that grabs the paper. Scraping off just a smidge at that spot reduces the drag.
still thinking of buffing the texture off the inside of the rings, too.
Rollabind/Circa rings
I ordered a couple of notebooks from Rollabind the other day-- mostly because I wanted the translucent rings and the slightly wider covers.
I definitely see a difference between the quality of the circa and rollabind rings. The circa rings from Levenger are perfectly smooth, but the rings from rollabind, well, aren't. I can feel the seam around the middle, and almost all of my rings have the mold marks shris describes above.
The pages do seem to rub on the writing inside the ring (if you lay a ring flat on the desk and look down on it, you can read the company name). shris, if you buff yours down, let me know how you did it and if it helped!
I was using the 1" circa rings, but they seemed too large for my planner. The rollabind notebook is supposed to hold up to 3/4" of paper. My planner is about 1/2" thick, but I can't fold the pages completely open-- it doesn't lay flat.
It's still a good notebook for the price. (Only $5.99 for a junior-sized book with 75 pages, plus an additional pack of 25 pages.) The shipping charges weren't outrageous, and Rollabind shipped it quickly.
If you're considering this type of system, be warned: After you've used the Levenger Circa products, everything else falls a little bit short.
Hi Laura.
That's really good info--that the Levenger rings are seriously better than the Rolla.
I'd like to point out, though, that not all of the rings I got from Rolla have the logo on the flat insides of the discs. Some of them are plain and smooth. The mediums and smalls have no logo, but the jumbos have a texture and a logo. All of them have the seam and mold mark, though some have less than others.
I haven't pulled out the Dremel yet, but I would use that tool, probably, and a fine grit sanding disc to get rid of the texture and logo. Since the sanding disc should be flat as well as round, it seems the ideal shape. It would probably take all of two seconds to get the texture off since the plastic is so soft.
You can get the mold marks off with a file as well as a knife. I have a metal file in my mini swiss army knife, and it does a good job getting the high spots, though it does diminish the shine. The knife blade leaves a little more shine, but doesn't do as well smoothing it out.
I wonder if the new owner will improve the quality of the discs. It would be nice, since those small flaws are noticeable when using a full notebook.
It's a little comforting, I guess...
...to know that you're getting something that's *worth* more, rather than something that just *costs* more!
That's weird that some of the rings have the logo or a texture or nothing at all. Are the translucent ones different than the solid ones?
I don't think I'm brave enough to take a dremel to my rings. (I don't have any extras to play with!) I was thinking about smoothing the outside of the ring with ultra fine grit sandpaper, though (the kind my husband uses when he's finishing the wood on an electric guitar).
You're right, it will be interesting to see what changes they make. Maybe they'll add new products?
I just circa-punched a velcro-close plastic envelope to store stamps and stuff in my planner... (I don't care for the zip-lock ones that open to the outside and always end up dumping my stuff.) This is so addictive... :)
I heard from a distributor they're already planning new colors of discs. Not sure what else they'll do. I hope they're in a hurry. :)
I've gone back to the multiple book method. One for calendar, projects, and contacts, another for inbox, another for password hints.. That makes my calendar book use the medium rings, while the others use small. I can leave my passwords behind when I go to the store or take them if I'm going to the plant to work for a day.
These are all the same size because they fit in my purse nicely, but I've got a really big one (letter size) for temporary scribbles that get thrown out--that one's made of all my misprints so they get some use before they're pitched.
Recipe boxes
Well, I don't really archive my 3x5's--unless it's for my Address Box. For that, I use a metal recipe box that my Grandma gave me. It works well for me. I use 3x5 Guides to organize it, and put the cards in by last name. If the last name is the same as another one in that section, I go to the first name. The only card in there that isn't for only one person is my Medical card, which is for the assorted medical professionals that I have.
3X5 Happiness File
I've been using the 3X5 system since the mid-90's. "The Happiness File" (by Pam Young and Peggy Jones) was a real eye-opener for me! I had used a plastic recipe box at my job as a tickler file but they developed the idea into a virtual planner system. I got a long metal 3X5 box that was just a gray standard-issue office type. My mom spray-painted it green, my favorite color, and later I painted a design on the lid.
The original purpose of the Happiness File was household management so there were tabs for days of the week, months, 1-31 and A-Z. Then they expanded on that and suggested putting your goals and dreams in there and tabs for projects. I have a 3X5 travel checklist that I treasure and cards for family info such as birthdays and anniversaries, names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. I also make cards for authors and books I want to read, movies I want to see, and so many other things.
Later I switched to a planner but still have my card file. I keep cards in it that I only need at home. However, the cards can tuck into a planner pocket quite easily and I love that the cards now come in so many neat colors. The cards in my box are for repetitive tasks like housework so they simply stay in the box and are not archived, or otherwise are for reference. Also, 3X5 cards can be punched in the top corner and put on a metal craft ring for portability.
I see lots of great recipe boxes that are eye candy and have several auxilary boxes for other purposes. Of course, some hold recipes and others hold art project ideas. I use a homemade scan plan in a small photo album and the cards are great for that as well. The only problem with recipe boxes is they are too short so the longer the better for holding 3X5's. I put a magnetic calendar inside the lid and also inspirational magnets so I do prefer the metal but wood is very appealing.
Pam and Peg
Hi Tildy: I think you may have been on the SHEs in Touch site a few years ago when I was. Have you connected to flylady.com yet? If not, you must ! It's great and I know you will like it. I have been a member for years. She is a friend of Pam and Peg's. I have been in awe of that system since they came up with it. I discovered it and read their wonderful book "From Pigpen to Paradise" back in 1979. That's when my original interest in 3x5s started. Nice to see you here. I just found this site a few days ago and think it's really great.
3x5 Index Card Ideas
I used to carry an 8x5 notebook, but it wasn't convenient and found myself going back to 3x5 index cards. They are small, but since I also write small, I can put a lot of info on the cards. The thing I most want is a carrier for the pack of cards, say 50-100 max, that will fit into a purse or bag. While Levengers has some find items, the carrier that I want is one that is protected from the other items that might be mixed in with them. I sorta like Mead's plastic snap carrier, but it tends to break with frequent use and doesn't actually carry a lot of cards, despite the advertising.
I use cards for lists, for things to do, for writing ideas (for stories), for notes on what I've read. I usually divide them when I arrive home.
Moleskine Pocket Memo Pockets
Have you looked at Moleskine's pocket wallet? The one I have holds 3x5s just fine and stands up to the abuse in my purse (at least so far).
(My apologies if this has already been mentioned on this thread.)
3X5 Card Holder
I've used 3X5's for years and keep them in an old cosmetic pouch. The smaller ones fit a package, don't wear out easily and you can stick a small pen/pencil in the pouch as well. You might could find a nice pouch fairly cheap at one of the "big box stores."

Egypt's Cabinet has approved a bill to regulate the fast-growing ride service market, which has been operating without regulatory measures allowing companies to hire drivers as independent contractors rather than employees.
If passed, the bill would require application-based ride service companies to pay taxes and insurance subscriptions for drivers and users operating with their markets and would oblige drivers to be the owners of their vehicles rather than leaseholders.
These measures come in addition to establishing a seven-hour daily cap on drivers' operation hours and an expansion of services to include car pooling options and local taxis.
Social Solidarity Minister Ghada Waly said in a press conference on Monday that there are six app-based companies currently operating in the Egyptian market, including the US-based Uber, Dubai-based Careem and the Egyptian companies Ousta, Pink Taxi and PQ Egypt.
According to the minister, all stakeholders were involved in drafting the bill.
Since they entered the Egyptian market two years ago, companies like Uber have contracted regulated limousine companies, such as iCan, among others, which in turn hire drivers, after a screening process that includes drug tests and a review of their criminal record.
However, this process meant that ride service companies were not legally obliged to pay taxes or other expenses incurred by registered taxi drivers. On several occasions, this practice has prompted local taxi drivers to protest against what they considered allowances that grant unfair competition, which that they believed damaged their livelihoods.
Pressure from local taxi drivers has hit companies such as Uber around the world. In France, a court fined the company 800,000 euros in June 2016 after finding it guilty of running an illegal taxi service with non-professional drivers. In the US, Uber faces a class action lawsuit from drivers in California and Massachusetts, after a judge rejected a $US 100 million settlement, declaring it inadequate for drivers who argue they should be treated as employees rather than independent contractors and hence receive reimbursements for expenses, such as fuel costs.
Uber Egypt is one of the first and largest ride service companies in the market. Reuters reported in October that it has over 35,000 drivers, with approximately 2,500 new drivers joining the company each week, citing Anthony Khoury, who was Uber Egypt's general manager at the time. The company also announced plans to invest $50 million in the Egyptian market over the next two years.

Minneapolis, Minn. — One block west of the 38th St. LRT station in south Minneapolis, a crew upgrading residential gas lines is running into the same problem that's been frustrating local residents since LRT came online in late June. They need to be digging in the streets, but they can't find the owners of several cars because they're gone on LRT trains.
On this weekday morning it's really not even that bad. There are several open spaces on either side of 29th Ave., where some residents of the street have posted homemade signs along the boulevard which read, 'Don't live here? Don't park here!'
Emile Bernier, who says he's lived on 29th for 35 years, complains LRT riders are using his street as a park-and-ride lot.
"They're all very unhappy. You can't park in front of your place," Bernier says.
Bernier, 75, says he sometimes has to park blocks away because his street is often packed with cars from outside the neighborhood.
"Anywhere you can find a spot -- six, seven blocks down, or wherever you have to," he says. "I mean, all the streets are the same. They're all invaded by the railroad."
Across the street, Myrtle Loch echoes her neighbor's sentiment. They both like the train, but they can't stand all the cars.
"We thought, everybody thought, that they would be taking the buses downtown to the rail station, but they're not," says a frustrated Loch. "They're taking their cars down and parking all over, up and down, anywhere that they can go."
Transit officials label these unwelcome commuters -- people like Jane Nordmeyer -- "hide-and-riders."
"I just started this job downtown and I probably wouldn't have taken it if I had to drive and park downtown," says Nordmeyer.
For $40 per month, Nordmeyer can ride LRT whenever she wants. She says it would cost nearly four times that just to park in downtown Minneapolis.
She says she feels badly for the people who live where she and other hide-and-riders are parking. On this day, she moved from the spot she initially chose, to avoid a possible confrontation with some people out on their front porch.
"I don't blame them. I was just hoping where I parked, maybe they're away at work today," she says.
Minneapolis City Council staff say they've heard complaints about outsider parking from numerous people who live near the LRT line. Some are petitioning the city for what's called critical parking declarations. That would restrict parking to local residents who have a permit.
Metro Transit is planning to add 250 park-and-ride spaces near the Lake St. stop in October. In November, the size of the park-and-ride lot at Fort Snelling will nearly double. And in December, when the LRT route is extended to the Mall of America, another 600 spaces will become available.
Mike Sachi, who oversees public parking for the city of Minneapolis, says those additional spots should ease the strain on street parking.
Sachi says officials want to collect more information before they begin imposing parking regulations around LRT stations. Sometime around September, after the line has been up and running for two months, Sachi says officials will analyze data to determine what can be done.
"We will work to continuously monitor the issues -- the parking pressures," Sachi says. "Each neighborhood has to be looked at individually, and the situation or the solution that works best for them may not work best for another station. So, we're kind of taking it on a case-by-case individual basis in dealing with the issues that way."
So far, according to Metro Transit, LRT ridership is dramatically outpacing expectations. In its first two weeks, nearly 70 percent more riders than projected boarded the new trains.
Looking closely at how LRT stations affect neighborhoods along the Hiawatha corridor could provide planners with important insight as they work to expand LRT, possibly to include a route linking the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul.

A Plea
Got a comment in which a former student studying at Hassobury (Farnham, Essex) in the 1960s looks for stories, pictures, etc. from anyone at the boarding school at the same time. Feel free to email me in order to make contact! (I'd love to hear stories too…)
According to SEAX, the catalogue of the Essex Record Office, the school was for girls; they have a log book from 1972-75.
If anyone could let me know the name the school functioned under, it might help!

The school called Hassobury was a boarding school that catered for children with learning problems and retarded, which my sister and I were labeled. It was a good school and I was happy there. I went there in 1960.vicki manning

After my quick stop-over in Bago where I had all the temples and sights to myself, I arrived in Kyaikhto town, where the madness began. Thousands and thousands of pilgrims were making their way up the mountain to pay their respect to the most important monument of Buddhist faith – Kyaikhto, the golden rock.
I had arrived at the peak of pilgrim season. We were squeezed in tightly on the army pick-up trucks that took us up the mountain on windy roads in a frightening speed. Western tourists were a rare sight between the pilgrims arriving from all over Myanmar and neighboring Buddhist countries. Young and old were squeezed in the trucks, the 90-year-old ladies as well as the new-born babies and off we went. I was happy I survived.
And then reality hit me….in my (naive and foolish) imagination, Kyaikhto was standing all deserted on a cliff almost tipping off the edge and I imagined witnessing some monks offering their prayers in all solitude…but, I was greeted by loud music, flashlights and thousands of people that were camping on the grounds of the area and the actual sacred monument was looking small and almost lost in the turmoil. Faith and worship differ between Christian and Buddhist or Hindu faith. While going to church and paying your respect to God is a rather calm and solemn affair at least where I come from, here in Myanmar it has a party-like atmosphere with deafening electro music, food stalls, flashing neon lights and a whole lot more people. I had pictured the place completely differently in my mind and was a little shocked on my arrival.
The place was so crowded and there was a constant flow of people arriving and leaving through the whole day. Naively again, I had thought that all the pilgrims who did not sleep in the few hotels and monasteries up the mountain had to leave in the evening before sunset and that the place would be deserted for sunset, giving a calm and peaceful atmosphere and perfect photo conditions. Within this idea, I had booked a totally overpriced room on top of the mountain (96 USD for a room that would be less than 20 USD in the rest of the country). And again, not at all, everyone was camping on the grounds, there were only small corridors where one could walk, the rest of the space was covered by sleeping people. It was a powerful experience to witness all those people practice their faith and the group spirit, but it was also very tiring, since we Westerners were considered an attraction swell and as soon as I slowed my pace, someone jumped up to take a picture with me. My face was hurting from smiling after a couple of hours up on the mountain, and I am not even exaggerating. Even monks wanted to have their picture taken with me!
However, between all the noise and the people, it was still a powerful experience and I can understand why some of my friends urged me to got. But I guess I would have enjoyed it more if I had a more realistic conception of what was expecting me so I hope this post will help those preparing a trip to the famous Golden Rock.
Only men are allowed to touch the holy rock.
When researching, I always saw pictures of the rock only…no people in sight. Now I know that everyone just cuts the masses out to let the monument shine.
Young nuns circling the pagoda.
Food stalls at every corner.
Sunset – not as peaceful as I had hoped but beautiful none the less.
The next morning at 6 a.m. everything was already in full swing. From 4 a.m. on, the vendors have started selling their toys, among them some horns that make the sound of cars honking. And then I realized that it was not the arriving trucks that woke me at 4 a.m. but the vendors advertising their toys. I almost lost it at that point….
And then again, a few minutes later, I came across these monks collecting the almoses in all serenity in the early morning, chanting quietly while all (and literally all) the bypassers dropped a few coins or bills in their cups. It was a humbling sight. I felt humbled and moved. It was a beautiful scene.
Thank you, Myanmar, for all you have shown and taught me!

Dear Father.
I have been patiently playing the lottery since 1994. Yes I've had small winnings but I am expecting the main jackpot. I know you will do exceedingly and abundantly more than I ask for.
Dear Jesus, I have no where else to turn. i do not want to beg or turn to prostitution to make ends meet. The Lord is my provider. Do a miracle for me Jehovah Jireh before the year runs out.
I don't want to put my hope in anything else. You have sustained me so far and I know you will not watch and do nothing while I suffer. I promise to do good with the money I win. Just try me.
I pray for all others on this site that their prayers get answered to
In Jesus mighty name I pray.

Hands are an undervalued part of the body because we always talk about eyes, nose, mouth, ears, brain & heart as the most important parts of the body. Use your hands properly! This article is not about erotica. If you are disappointed, you may leave now. :-)
I will describe you why we should love our hands & how to use hands for a better world. As strange it may sound, you don't have to take this very seriously but take a minute to read if you want to save the world just by using your hands.
Hands & Food
When I first came to France, I was shocked ( yes, I am always shocked) thoroughly, let's say appalled by the view of many plastic forks, spoons & knives that are used to eat food in University canteens & cafés. There were metal ones too, but I am talking about the plastic ones here. We could take as much as utensils for our use & later on we throw them into the bins. I did not see anyone re-using those, except me who kept a plastic fork & a spoon in my bag after using them once thinking about a picnic in the park later.
I don't like the view of people using these plastic cutlery in an abundant manner for their convenience.
Why can't they just use their hands to eat like many Asians do ( Asia means South Asia) ?
All my life, I ate with my hands except during the visits to highly sophisticated restaurants in Colombo where we have to imitate English manners & go home starved after playing with the cutlery.
That's where the value of hands should be highlighted.
We are born with perfect hands with fingers. Chop them off, if you don't need them for a basic survival.
Now, some who are reading my article would say :
Disgusting, to eat with hands using fingers !
I remind kindly those very people who criticise seriously when they see some Asians eating with fingers, to think about other places where they nobly put the fingers!
God or whoever created the human anatomy gave us ten fingers in our hands, not only for the purpose of grasping, holding or shaking hands but also to eat , to survive by eating.
Instead, people use their hands for totally useless things.
Men & women, think about the weird instances where you use hands!
I used those intimate details just to prove that you should not be ashamed to eat with your hands in public because they are many shameful things in this world than that.
I faced this problem in French tables where they decorate with millions of cutlery in order, where we have to select the correct item to eat as if we will have to face digestion problems if not properly selected. I am not criticising their culture or table manners but I was annoyed when some people told me that I am not civilized, that eating with fingers is a clear sign of uncivilized manners. « Il faut évoluer » You should evolve is the phrase I heard. Should I care ? I never loose appetite even in most difficult times in life ! We have evolved too much, that is why are close to the apocalypse.
Why you should be using hands?
When we eat with fingers, there is a different flavour to food.
If you eat using those cutlery all your life, you would not understand what I say. But ask Asians, they would describe you. Rice mixed with curries & succulent chicken can only be enjoyed by eating with hand. I feel empty every time I eat with those metals or plastic & I leave the table dissatisfied. If I get a fingerbowl in restaurants, or a find a washroom nearby, I am not afraid to eat with hands even if thousands look at me with surprising eyes, or disgusting eyes because I am aware I do no harm to anyone, no harm to nature because I don't leave behind anything to recycle.

Some people think :
Yeah everything would be recycled so we don't have to worry, but they are not aware that recycling would also cost a lot & if they avoided the process of recycling they could have saved more & more money & energy.
Some like to complain & here are some funny answers.
Eating with hands is annoying, I spill everywhere : Unless you are paralysed, with a bit of practice you will manage, Dear
How can I cut meat ? I hope you still have your set of teeth.
After eating with hands, I have to wash hands : Oh, I thought being civilised is not being lazy ! So, go & wash your hands. No water, seriously ? Use Coca cola.
My hands smell : No one is coming to kiss your hands today !
Is it hygienic ? There are millions in Africa, Middle East & Asia, over populated, I wish they would die in mass just because of this unchanging habit !
If you can eat Pizza, Hamburger, Chips & bread with your hands, I am confused, why can't you eat the other food?
Now, my innocent thoughts are not enough to convince many civilised people. Let me give you an example from a research because something needs to be proved scientifically in the labs & would be approved by a Jury to put into practice in western society because what can a Sri Lankan villager know about protecting the environment!
Here is something I found : Apparently eating with hands is good for health.
Here is something I found : Apparently eating with hands is good for health.
In the Vedic tradition, eating with ones hands is tied to the practice of hand mudras – or meditative gestures using the hands and other body parts. The hands are honored as a beautiful 'organ of action.' A famous Vedic sloka or verse suggests that divinity rests within human effort – brought about through the hands.
When we touch our food before putting it into our mouths the millions of nerve endings on the tips of our fingers are getting a temperature and texture reading that is immediately sent to the stomach – like a warning signal. Ayurvedic wisdom teaches that our bodies can respond to this food-touch by producing the needed enzymes and digestive juices before the food even meets our lips – and that the fingers themselves even contain enzymes which start the digestive process upon first touch.
I don't think I have to rewrite this in a different way. My father was always right that he never eats with utensils. The only time I saw him using them was when his hands were injured. He is so healthy, never had digestive problems.
A lot of Sri Lankans make a huge effort to eat with these western invented utensils in Five Star hotels that they end up having an orchestra there ! We laughed our head off listening to the troubles that friends faced eating with forks & knives ; like flying chicken, lobsters untouched, rice spilled etc.
If we can make a trend of eating with hands, I think we would be reducing a lot of plastic.
If you girls disagree to eat with your hands, at least carry a metal knife, fork & spoon in your beautiful handbags, not to kill anyone but to eat!
Guys, if you can carry a huge iphone in the pockets, find a way to carry the cutlery, my head is too small to think a solution for guys. They are so cool so they would easily eat with hands. Flexible, I would say!
It is just a way of life, a little sacrifice for your health, for all of us & for the environment.

Garden Pest and Disease Control
Visit this guy.
- Hydrogen peroxide (HOH) strengthens your plants.
- Seeds can be pre-soaked in HOH.
- Plants can be sprayed with 8tbs/gallon or more to kill diseases and blight.. You can work up as high as 12 tbs/gallon. Spray and wait 48 hours to see if there is damage. If so, cut back next time. If not, go stronger next time. If you get an outbreak, spray every other day several times.
- Baking Soda will prevent diseases and blight. HOH will kill but it doesn't prevent. Wait a day after the HOH application.
- Diatomaceous Earth kills worms and crawling insects like aphids.
- Flowering plants can be scattered among the producing plants in order to discourage the bad bugs and draw in the good ones, namely bees. The type of flowering plant should correspond to the insect problem. So if someone wishes to capture insects in order to feed fish or chickens, then in a certain section of the property, they plant those flowers which actually attract certain insects.
- Building bird feeders and bird houses in the area is an excellent insect controller, not to mention an essential element for a permaculture design.
- There are plants which produce tiny thorns on their leaves. Certain bamboo shoots have these. The leaves can be picked and soaked in water. This solution is later sprayed on the desired plants to protect them.
Potassium Bicarbonate, but not Copper Sulfate
Baking Soda (for mildew):
This basic recipe comes from The Natural Gardener in Austin.1) The recipe they recommend is as follows (link to original recipe here):
4 level teaspoons or 1-1/3 tablespoons of baking boda
1 teaspoon of mild soap (e.g., Dawn or Ivory—should be biodegradable with no phosphates)
1 gallon of water

Fire Ants
Grits or Corn Meal (from fire ant.net)
One person uses cheap corn meal bought at her local discount grocery store. She spreads it around and on the fire ant beds. The workers will carry it into the mound to the queen. When she eats it, it will swell up and kill her.
Another person said: Try grits. A person at the San Antonio Zoo told me that is what they use. It is safe for all other animals but when the ants ingest it, it swells up inside and they can not get rid of it. They also can't eat anything else so basically they starve to death. We tried it at the Dallas Fort Worth Airport and it really works.
Grits on Steroids (From Steve Molnar):
Here is the method I have used successfully for years. It was taught me by a friend when we lived in Louisiana on 3 1/2 acres by a lake. Cost was a big factor because of the size of the property. We now live in Southeast Texas and I have taught it to all my neighbors and friends.
I take two pounds of fine corn meal and mix it with I cup of sugar and 10 TBS of Orthene Fire Ant Killer (acephate). In a container large enough to hold all of the above, I shake it up really well. On an average mound I sprinkle about 1 TBS, less on smaller mounds. It works great, however it seems to be more efficient in hot weather and I never put it out unless I know it will not rain for a day. In the winter I use Home Defense. My one acre property stays ant free most of the time because I stay on top of it.
Use Splenda
