Hipster PAA, at work usage

Today, the PAA made its @work debut, with the following to report:

  • Took some notes from the insurance company on the follow up to yesterday’s accident. I have on a 3×5 card, claim number, claim center phone, and everything I need to move forward.
  • A reminder on some RedHat configurations that need to be changed in our standard build. This will be transferred to the Palm PDA tomorrow, in the proper category.
  • OK, two items, not an auspicious start. But it’s a start. And everything is in one place.

    I outfitted my Hipster with a hack I discovered on a site I can’t remember right now. The gist is, take two fresh cards, preferably color cards, put both at the end of the stack. As you “file” the cards from the front, put ‘em between the color coded ones. In this fashion, you don’t inadvertently give away one with important stuff on it. And you have an “end” and “very” end of your stack.

    Small steps, taken consistently.

    h/t: Dave, for aptly pointing out that a Hipster is not a PDA, but a PAA (Personal Analog Assistant). See the comments on the post, wherein I ask, and am enlightened, on the acronym.

    One thought on “Hipster PAA, at work usage

    1. Great tip. I’m giving up my BlackBerry and will use a Hipster PDA (or PAA) I assembled using templates from D*I*Y Planner for one week, starting Monday, 8/14.

      I’m a little afraid, but at the very least I’ll have something to blog about.
