As if I don't have enough things to do....
This week, I came across Daisy Yellow's summer challenge of an Index Card a Day - ICAD. And since I have a PILE of index cards on my desk.... this idea resonated with me. So I am playing along - 2 ways.
This week, I came across Daisy Yellow's summer challenge of an Index Card a Day - ICAD. And since I have a PILE of index cards on my desk.... this idea resonated with me. So I am playing along - 2 ways.
The first will be as a fun and silly art experiment - and here is Day One:
Playing with zen doodles again...
And why, you may ask - do I have a pile of Index Cards on my desk? These cards are part of a system I use to keep myself organized. My friend Priti Lisa thinks I'm organized (um thanks Lisa!) and sometimes I am though other times I can be wildly out of control - you should see my house (and garden) at the moment. When I am organized though, I give all the credit to Index Cards and this book: Sidetracked Home Executives(TM): From Pigpen to Paradise. It suggests breaking all your tasks down into doable portions and making index cards for each. And then take out a card and do a task. Write down the date and put it away for a day, a week, a month, a year or more - depending on the task. Here are a few of my cards:
Time to do this one again!
Back on Track today!
So this is the second way I will participate in this challenge. I plan to do AT LEAST one task-related Index Card A Day! (Today I did about 10 - maybe I will start making progress again!)
Want to play along? One way or the other?
Interesting way to use note cards. Hmmm...might have to try that as I like to keep my life/things organized!
ReplyDeleteLove your zen doodles. I know I've said it before, but one of these days I really need to sit down and give it a try. :)
oh what a great idea...i love the zen doodles, too! I agree with sophia, one day i must sit down to do that!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love your Zen doodles! Secondly, what a great idea with the cards. It wouldn't work for me, though, because I would have to make a card telling me to make cards, and I would most likely forget to do it. Oh well, guess I will just have to keep muddling through my tasks. :-)
