Index cards rock. They are inexpensive, they are durable, they are easily and compactly filed, and - provided you are guided by the one idea per card rule - you can easily combine and re-order them to draw up new visual relationships between previously unconnected thoughts!
I use index cards for many things. I can’t go to the store and not buy a pack if I see them. I take notes on them and I always keep some with books I am reading to help me remember who the characters are etc. I have a recipe box filled completely up. My contacts are all on index cards along with information such as their birthdates, anniversaries, children etc. My affirmations, goals, projects and plans as well. I love them and I love notebooks and paper and pencil as opposed to all the computerized ways of doing things. I kept a tickler file when I worked. Nice video. I subscribed.
In the 1990s, I used index cards to manually prepare the index of my first nonfiction book for my publisher. A friend who indexed medical books taught me how.

Thank you so much!

Thank you.
1919? I used index cards extensively in the 1970's and 80's.
I was thinking that, too. They didn't have 3x5 index cards in 1919...but I get and appreciate his point. M
