OK, this has got to stop! But I can’t help but find out sort of information that I think could be of use to people, and like my mother, I cannot help but pass it on. I got this from reading Cliff Atkinson’s blog. Atkinson is the author of the book Beyond Bullet Points who now has added a blog and website to his holdings.
So here is a funky little tool called pocketmod.com which allows you to make and print a very small notebook from a single sheet of A4 (letter-size) paper. You get 8 sections to put different designs on (grid, lines, schedule etc.) and one of the designs is a storyboard layout (within the “Writing Guides” folder).
It’s wild. I tried it, went to the YouTube video to watch (a couple of times), how to put the thing together. Now of course, the question is whether or not I would ever use such a tool. It’s not the fact that it’s so retro, but I have a tendency to loose things, and carrying around a small piece of paper like this is probably not going to work. What do you think?
