I’ve made a personal note, to relook at Circa. My only concern is that since we’re based in India, if I run out of paper, is there any alternate source that we can get locally or will I be dependent on Levenger in US?

I am with Hailey. I use the Circa notebook exclusively, because I can put in as many tabs as I want, and paper and index cards in any size I want.

I have the large size and the junior (desk) size. I use the larger one when I have to carry MSPROJECT schedules and other 8X11 printouts. I can move all my desk size papers, and any index cards into the larger one with no problems.

I also love the Levengers provides different style papers to use – blank, grid, lined, etc.

You can buy sample circa notebooks to try in any size, and a sample stack of index cards punched to add to the notebook.

I suggest doing that first, to see if you like the system. Then if you do, you will want to choose a leather binder – or like i did, the leather journal front and back covers.

The other reason I bought the Circa journals is because I was tired of having my 3-ring notebook rings reset. They widen as you open your planner to take pages out and put them back in.

With Circa, the pages easily come out and can be put back wherever you want them.

In the beginning it was a bit of a concern if the time we were spending towards GTD was worth it or not. But then we didn’t have any other option. If we were to have confidence that:
– absolutely ever single instruction given is going to be carried out to the best of one’s ability.
– And that any “should”, “need to”, “have to” that individuals in the organisation come up with are going to be executed,

the only way we could achieve that is by really doing our very best in teaching this methodology.

So therefore, we put in our heart and soul behind the training. We have climbed somewhat high on the GTD ladder. But we certainly still have miles to go.

Thanks for your wonderful comment, Michael. Great to have you on GTD Times too. Looking forward to your posts :-)

Those are really neat notebooks. Will certainly do a little R&D to see if similar notebooks are here in India.

It must be exciting to be able to roll this out with your own senior management. All employers hope their managers will do good work. You guys are providing your senior managers with the tools to pull it off‚Äîboth the system itself and the actual, on the ground, equipment to get the job done. I think I’d be pretty happy working for an employer that went through the trouble to teach me those skills, which would be useful not just in the job, but for a lifetime, and outfit me to be successful.

That way all of the pages are movable and your notebook never runs out. You just remove the pages you are done with and add some more. It also comes in different sizes from the size you chose all the way down to index card size. I use the indexcard one.

Thanks for the compliment on the post. Yes, you’re absolutely right. The dimensions were supposed to be in cm rather than in mm. Have sent a revised image to the editor for it to be corrected. Thanks for pointing the error out. :-)

Please allow me to very respectfully formulate an observation about the Solo 5 Subject Notebook. Would I be correct in assuming that you meant 17cm X 21.5 cm, rather than 17mm X 21.5 mm! An inch is 25.4 mm.

I’d love to get my hands on a few of these, but would much prefer letter (after tearing at the perforations, if possible) over A4.
