종이 한 장으로 Planner/다이어리 만들기 (One Sheet Planner)

일할 때 묵직한 다이어리나 플래너를 늘상 들고 다니면서 기록하고 스케쥴 정리하는게 쉬운 일만은 아닙니다. 게다가 가끔씩 깜빡깜빡 잃어버리는 경우에는 당혹스럽기만 하구요.

그래서, 늘 주머니 안에 쏙 넣고 다니면서 그때 그때 쉽게 스케쥴 정리하고 해야할 일 (To-do-List) 확인해서 일을 보다 효율적으로 관리 했으면 하는 바람이 있었습니다.

물론 플랭클린 플래너니 온라인 다이어리 등 많은 것들이 있기는 합니다만, 역시나 그냥 종이에 간단하게 적으면서도 주머니에 쏙 들어가고 그렇다고 스케쥴이나 할 일 목록이 일목요연하게 정리되는 것은 없을까 하다가 우연히 찾게된 것이 PocketMod 라는 것입니다.

PocketMod.com 에서 제공하는 필요한 목록들을 8면에 각각 지정하고 프린트 한 다음, 이 종이 한장을 PocketMod 에서 제시하는 대로 요령있게 접으면 명함 한 장 크기 정도가 됩니다. 이렇게 정리된 것을 주머니나 지갑에 쏙 넣어가지고 다니면서  그때 그때 스케쥴이며 할 일 목록들을 확인하고 정리하면 구지 무겁고 불편한 다이어리나 플래너를 늘 가지고 다닐 필요없이 간단한 것들을 잊지않고 잘 정리해 나갈 수 있습니다.

제 경우에는 맨 앞장에 개인 정보를 놓고, 할일 목록 / Weekly Planner 를 3 주 정도 묶어놓고, 맨 마지막에 달력을 놓고 뽑아서 접어가지고 주머니에 넣고 다니니깐 웬만한 것들은 잊지않고 그때 그때 잘 정리가 되더군요.

일을 잘하고 싶지만, 플래너나 다이어리를 꼼꼼히 적거나 가지고 다니는게 만만치 않은 귀차니스트와 건망증으로 해야할 일을 깜빡 깜빡하는 분들을 위해 아주 좋은 방법인듯 하여 소개 해 봅니다.

최정환.

What is a PocketMod?

A PocketMod is a cleverly folded piece of paper with preprinted templates for things like a mini calendar, todo list, quadrille paper, checklist etc. It's the smallest instance of a PDA that I have seen yet, requiring nothing more than a blank piece of paper and a pair of scissors to execute. You could even bypass the scissors if you had good paper and a crisp straightedge to do a rip.

The original PocketMod site has a Flash application to generate pages from templates, plus a .NET application to convert PDFs to the 8-up PocketMod format. The Macintosh application Page Packer uses the Hipster PDA templates to do 8-up formatting, and lets you drag in your favorite images or pages as well. pmPDF accomplishes the same task as a PHP class.

Any application that generates suitably formatted 8 page booklets can be a reasonable source for input for a PocketMod. In addition, the same approach works for 16, 24, or 32 page books, as long as you have a way to lay out the pages so that the booklets nest nicely and the pages sort in the right order.

The PocketMod is a new way to keep yourself organized. Lets face it, PDAs are too expensive and cumbersome, and organizers are bulky and hard to carry around. Nothing beats a folded up piece of paper. That is until now. With the PocketMod, you can carry around the days notes, keep them organized in any way you wish, then easily transfer the notes to your PDA, spreadsheet, or planner.

The PocketMod is a small book with guides on each page. These guides or templates, combined with a unique folding style, enable a normal piece of paper to become the ultimate note card. It is hard to describe just how incredibly useful the PocketMod is. It's best that you just dive in and create one. Build a PocketMod now!

Many things make this little personal organizer special, here is a list.

1. It fits easily in your back pocket or purse.
2. It's as cheap as one piece of paper (Because that's all it is!)
3. It opens like a book. Leading to easier to find, more organized notes.
4. The first page has a pouch, big enough to carry a business card!
5. Customizable with "Mods" tailored to your needs.
6. It's free and fun!

It's easy! Just select the "Create PocketMod" link above to start. You will need the Flash Player in order to run the application. PocketMod will run in your browser. Just select a "mod" from the list and drag it from the preview area to a page. After you have created your PocketMod book, select print. Once it has printed, you will need to fold it into the "PocketMod" form.

That's it! Happy organizing.
