Great content!

This is just perfect. This scratches my itch of wanting a paper based system, but being flexible enough that I can move things around. I use the index card zettelkasten system, but keep leaning towards digital task managers due to portability, but they end up becoming a black hole of tasks. This is totally portable enough for me.
Thanks for uploading! And thanks to the podcast host for doing this fantastic interview!

I’ve spent the past week setting up a similar system to this. I’m still trying to figure out my workflow though. Kenneth, I’d love to see your system and workflow if it differs from Thorbjørns?

Thanks for sharing how to incorporate the GTD system with the Index Card system. I think it's definitely doable. I'm definitely going to try it.

I buy index cards all the time. For years now, I’ve never seen a card for sale where they have horizontal lines on one side of vertical lines on the other. Where did you find them?

Thank you..

Thank you for sharing your system. I like the index card system but I haven't been able to use it efficiently, mainly because of my scatter brain. I am not a very organized person.
