Bubble Map ToDo List from Idea Idea

“I have checked off many ToDos… but I just do not feel like i’ve accomplished a lot…”.

This often happens to me (and you?), so I looked into the problem deeply. Then I realized that a ToDo “list” does not represent the importance of each item. Yes, you can “A, B, C” the list, but your brain just does not catch how important each item is. In my opinion, it’s just counter-intuitive.

So a few weeks ago, i began “drawing” my ToDo list. Each bubble represents a ToDo and the bigger the more troublesome it is to your mind. I named this map, “bubble map”. My bubble map yesterday is something like below (click to enlarge).

Moleskine Credit Card Advert Ice Scraper Ad Infinitum Hack


I don’t know about you, but I get more junk mail than bills; so much that I used to get all weepy with excitement when the cable bill came. But no more! Not since I discovered the bounty that is credit card advertisement; you know those little fake plastic credit cards you get in the mail that say YOUR BUSINESS NAME HERE. There are tons of uses for these little things (ice scraper, batter bowl scraper, etc…) and they fit nicely in your moleskine.

I use them for bookmarkers, ice scrapers, straight edges. I even melted one into a bowl shape for use as a paperclip holder.


A few days ago someone created a storyboard template for the large Moleskine sketchbooks, but left the poor little pocket size notebook out in the cold. But I have been using these free plastic credit cards as storyboard templates for a year or more. They fit perfectly on the page of your pocket size Moleskine, but they aren’t tied to it; you can use them anywhere.
