In terms of getting a notebook organized, I prefer the Bullet Journal method [1], which I've been using for some time now and which has been effective for me.<p>[1] <a href="http://bulletjournal.com" rel="nofollow">http://bulletjournal.com</a>
Of course this is a hack and not an organizational method, because hack is sexy (see: this site) and organizational method is not. It's also a little-known hack, because people don't like popular things, they like things that make them feel like they know something the experts don't (see: doctors HATE this!)<p>Don't do GTD; Trello is a little known hack for organizing your projects.
