The deluge of information has swamped us again. The term does sound familiar, doesn't it?
People had problems with information overload even three hundred years ago. ~ Anne Lamott (Author of Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life)Ĭarl Linnaeus invented the index card and he is often considered as a pioneer of information retrieval. I believe in lists and I believe in taking notes, and I believe in index cards for doing both. I use it to remember a little from the umpteen life hack tips I read every day.Īnd I am not the only one who finds the productivity in it. The little rectangle of paper helps to simplify with a few lines of text or a hastily drawn doodle. Apply them as a memory aid and they become flash cards.įor me, the no-frills index card leaps to the rescue when life is bottle-necked by details. Some of your own friends may have a stack of index cards tucked away for learning a new language or as presentation notes for the next meeting.
