Yes it might be a bit of an obsession right now, but I’m presently looking into various ways of organizing notes/information/to dos. Fifty Ways to Take Notes has some interesting links. GTDTiddlyWiki is a client-side wiki – there’s a nice introduction over at Lifehacker.
If you like your notes on a paper you can always use Notepad Generator by Michael Botsko to make your personalized PDF notepaper to print out and take on your way to meetings. Another Notepad Generator (from Simson.net) includes a small monthly calendar. There’s also the Cornell Method PDF Generator where there are also other easy-to-use templates. Of course there will always be the need for an Emergent Task Planner, and over at David Seah there’s a free PDF download if you’re into writing down your Most Important Tasks (or MIT’s).
And while I’m still at it: on a larger scale (and probably not for everyone) is having your own DIY paint-on chalkboard calendar. I guess the idea works best in an office space, but it does look great. Have a look at Martha Stewart Living (I know, I know).
