    Watching people online chat, ask questions, and generally get excited about their planners for 2026, I thought I would spend a few minutes to set up my Memindex-inspired planner version using 4 x 6″ index cards and tabbed dividers. It’s amazing how useful a $2.50 block of 500 index cards can be for planning out your coming year.

    Interestingly, I’ve recently come across versions of this same sort of tickler file recommended in mid-20th century textbooks for filing and indexing in business contexts:

    Cadwallader, Laura Hanes, and Sarah Ada Rice. 1932. Principles of Indexing and Filing. Baltimore; Chicago: H.M. Rowe Company. page 134: https://archive.org/details/principlesofinde0000laur/page/134/mode/2up

     

    Kahn, Gilbert, Theo Yerian, and Jeffrey R. Stewart, Jr. 1962. Progressive Filing and Records Management. 1st ed. New York: Gregg Publishing Division, McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc. page 190: https://archive.org/details/progressivefilin0000gilb/page/190/mode/2up 

    The careful observer will notice that both of the photos in texts by different authors nearly 30 years apart are the same! I would suspect that they’re from a manufacturer’s catalog (Remington Rand) earlier in the century. It’s even more interesting that one can still quickly create such a set up with commercially available analog office supplies now.

    In this episode I play a song by Slaid Cleaves; I’m buying production stuff but it isn’t all showing up; I want a Stream Deck plugin for Audio Hijack; the American Pencil Collector Society actually did send me a welcome packet that I buried under a pile; I have started a daily carry notebook; integrating the physical and digital information is always tricky; Rocketbook is a somewhat acceptable compromise; I realized what a lock-in the Proton Mail “hide my address” function is; I finally had enough of the Cortex podcast; I unsubscribed from a pair of Tig Notaro podcasts; “I used to love your show”; I like the Lou Barlow backing track system; I am enjoying my Danger Man watch project; I don’t want a documentary to include the documentarian.
