Statistics of March 2007

This is a statistics of cards in March 2007, in dock@life. Number of Four cards are,

- Record : 27 (9.2%)
- Discovery : 238 (81.2%)
- GTD : 4 (1.4%)
- Reference : 24 (8.2%)

Total : 293

This statistics shows,
1. My PoIC system functions as a capturer and storage of “Discovery” now. Everything else seems secondary to enhance discovery. According to tag, this change is remarkable since February 2007. These Discovery cards are reserved for long-term tasks (Ref. : @manual, What is Pile of Index Cards?).

2. Number of Record cards is close to days in a month. This simply reflects a number of diary. I start from diary to trigger writing of a day (Ref. : @manual, How to keep writing).

3. For GTD cards, I usually don’t have so many in a dock (Ref. : @manual, PoIC Four cards). Plus, GTD tasks are processed on the Fieldnote, a temporal memory, without copying to cards. I think Fieldnote functions well for GTD stuff.

4. Number of Reference cards depends on how many books I read, and also how many sentences move my heart.

5. Simple average is 9.5 cards/day. But I usually write cards on week day. So I think realistic average (only for weekday) is about 20 cards/day. This is the best record since last year. March records highest number of cards in a year in 2006, too. Perhaps, March is anomalous for me.
