Hipster BC - My GTD business card, with a surprise on the back

Here's a quick snap of the front and back of the business cards I had made up for David Allen's GTD | RoadMap seminar that I attended on Friday in Boston (more on the seminar in another post):


GTD Business Card, Front and Back


The card's front (left hand side) has basic contact info; it's hard to see in the photo, but at the bottom it reads (in gray):

collect - process - organize - review - do

On the back (right hand side) is Doug Johnston's incomparable GTD Quick Reference Card, which includes "a flow chart, a weekly review list, and a list of 'Stuff' (TM, patent pending)".

Rather than going for something traditional, I wanted to make a card that would a) draw some attention (Doug's images does so nicely - always good for a "cool!"), b) educate a bit about the Allen's work, and c) give me some visual GTD talking points. The diagram is small, but I'm using it both for a visual symbol (icon) as well as concepts for me to go over with interested folks. I've found that even if someone can't read the words, I know them, and can present the flow while talking and pointing to the boxes. Of course I always give appropriate credit to Allen and Johnston (thanks, guys).

Hi Matt,
Stylish and useful at the same time! What else can you ask for? :)
Great idea for a BC. I've some new developments on my side, but I'm too busy to post them now; maybe later in the day.

Thanks, Ricardo. Looking forward to hearing about your ideas.

Matt,
I've posted about the changes on my implementation on my blog, if you want to take a look.
Right now, I'm experimenting with a slightly non-standard approach to the tickler file, but I haven't got to any conclusion regarding its efficiency.

Thanks for the pointer, Anonymous.
