If there is one thing I absolutely admire in all the GTD-blogs, wiki’s, mailinglists and discussiongroups, it is the absolute sense of DIY to make your own life as easy as possible. Reading Getting Things Done was a (sort of) revelation for me to start with. When I read some of the hacks on 43Folders.com and started to find more and more through the various blogs and lists. One of the highlights was the whole Moleskine subculture. Well, no, the whole paperbased-culture. Those who don’t reject PDA and electronics but choose to use paper as a better and more flexible way to write down thoughts, capture actions, make appointments and remember their (mobile) life. I think the DIY Hipster PDA is the absolute highpoint of that subculture.

I tried the Hipster PDA but it wasn’t all to my likings. I had to bind the papers with a paperclip and keep it in my Moleskine. Made it all very bulky and not easy for me to use. Today I found the Pocketmod. In true Google-style, it is in beta and in version 0.3. But it looks promising. You can choose your own templates, shuffle them in your own order and print a little book of it. The website includes foldinginstructions on video, so you can try it for yourself. Absolutely a must-see and must-try for all paperlovers! The website sports their own forum so you can discuss ideas and thoughts with other afficionados. For instance to talk about combining the Pocketmod with the GTD TiddlyWiki. No really….

The PocketMod BB seems to be down, but I implemented GTDTW printing to PocketMod format, and described how to do it here: http://shared.snapgrid.com/gtd-forum/vie..
Have fun
