Getting Organized--the Old Way

ScanCard Organizer 

Back in the 80's, before Facebook, Twitter, email, texting, and cell phones, I used an organizing system called ScanCard. Good old paper and pencil.  Notes written on a card and inserted into a "control panel" for easy viewing.  The original owner sold the company and computers and cell phones made scan cards too "old style".   The system went out of use.
Recently, one of my colleagues reminded me of this system.  He was overwhelmed by all his emails, texts, phone calls, sales calls--with no way to organize at the things he had to do for customers.  He remembered the card system I used to use.  He thought that this would be a good way to organize himself.  You can use a note pad, but then you have to find the page you wrote the notes on--you have to remember that you were supposed to do something for someone, you spend a lot of time reading over old pages to find what you're looking for.
So I Googled "ScanCard" and found the system has been revived and was now owned by the original owner's son.
With the ScanCard system, you see it all in a glance: emails that have to be followed up on, texts that need your attention, calls that have to be returned--everything is there to be looked at every day.
Keep the cards by your side making notes as you read your emails, as you watch TV, during customer visits--all your notes go into the binder for easy viewing.
I have stepped back into the 80's and ordered the ScanCard system once again.  Sometimes things that are old are better than things that are new.  (I speak from personal experience.)
