PoIC for Kids
As seen in the statistics of March, the PoIC works well to enhance discovery for me. I have been thinking it works good for kids, too. Conversely, it is untrue if the system/method doesn’t work for kids. To work well for kids, the system must be extremely simple and fun. I think the PoIC satisfies this criteria.
PoIC’s system and method are further simplified, for example,
- 2 cards (Record + Discovery)
- Larger card such as 6×4 or 5×8
- Quadrille rule or plain
- Date stamp (w/o time stamp)
- Crayon or felt pen
- Keep all cards in a box chronologically
Kids’ idea is more flexible and free. I think cards is much better than notebook because of free in order. Chronological stacking sets free kids’ imagination from restriction comes from classification.

Hi Hawk, I’ve been watching from afar lately. My, you are busy. I’ve begun to get started on a combined GTD system and PoIC system here, it will take me a while. I just wanted to say that like a lot of folk elsewhere, I can’t get grid index cards in Australia. So I’ve come up with a solution. I was going to type it here, but I think I’ll just take a photo and put it up on my flickr and blog. That would be easier. All the best. Jan

Wow!
At first time I saw your pictures, I thought gridded index cards is available in Australia. But that is plain index cards with grid on top edge by own.
So nice and productive :)
And also thank you for the pictures and contexts. It makes me easy to understand.
