I like to use the free postcards that some venues give away as advertising - these are A6. However for index cards I feel A6 is the best size (it is equally my favourite size for a notebook to carry around with me all the time). I use A5 notebooks for writing in although sometimes A4, and mapping out the flow of ideas onto A3 or even A2 is nice. I know this isn't strictly in keeping with the ethos of the group, so I'll copy this post over to the analog devices group too - more appropriate. THIS is the only online video I could find on how to make one of these things.much easier than me saying fold A over to B etc etc Main issue I have now is finding a shorter, retractable, rollerball pen that I like and that doesn't bleed too much on cheap paper or the back (inside) of a standard brown envelope. What I do is turn envelopes and A4 paper into little star books and then use a small clip to secure a pen, or use the pens own clip to atach it to the book. ![]() ![]() I also recycle all A4 and A5 envelops that I receive. I am tending to make much more use of sheets of A4 paper which is very cheap for data capture purposes. I do not file or keep the bulk of my index cards, and, of late, they are getting used less and less in favour of my use of recycled materials to write on. Truth be told, what I tend to do is use them then lose them. I had the 3x5 or 6x4 dichotomy going on a while back. Thanks a lot, Hawk! I've bought a cheap A6 dock for now. Hawkexpress (a group admin) edited this topic ages ago. The name card is good size for brainstorming, though.įinally, I choose medium, 5 x 3 inch size. I found one is too large, and another is too small (even for Japanese!). Itasaka's "Technical thinking, technical writing" : 5 x 3 inchįollowing these books, I used to try both B6 and name card. Kawakita's "Abduction (KJ method)" : punch card, and later, name card (91 × 55 mm) Watanabe's "A way of intellectural life" : B6 Umesao's "Technique of intellectual productivity" : B6 (182 x 128 mm) I cited four Japanese "index cards and productivity" books in PoIC manual.

I read in an article, that the first index cards were actually What do books on the KJ method or other similar techniques suggest for metric card sizes? What would you choose? Choosing something in between is really no option, I would not only have to cut up cards, but also build boxes and trays. Only half as many cards fit on a table while sorting, obviously.Ĭonsidering, that japanese writing is a bit smaller for similar content,Ī6 might be a better equivalent of "information capacity" too. Some of the fun/toy aspect of using a deck of cards is lost, however. There is simply not enough space to hold an A7 card comfortably.Ī6 is much much better to write on. ![]() Putting one card by itself on the desk is better/easier. It has one drawback: I find it really hard to write on it, especially if I use a stack of cards. You can bundle a stack of it with rubber bands Where I live, in Austria (and probably most of continental Europe), we use the metric/DIN sizes: There are cards in A5 (rather large), A6 (a bit larger than 3x5), A7 (quite a bit smaller) and even A8 (A8 is what most people use for practicing and repeating words in foreign laguages, it is too small for anything else).Ī6 is exactly 4.1 × 5.8 inches (105 × 148 mm), or about 4圆Ī7 us exactly 2.9 × 4.1in (74 × 105) or about 3x4Ī7 is nice to handle for sorting etc. Seems a good size to me, and seems to be what most people recommend.
