Yes, I've read about that Hipster PDA. I think this Pocket Mod is much more cool than the Hipster PDA in that you can play around and design the organizer with whichever layout so that it looks nice, etc.

But, the point is that if you have a Yahoo calendar or other free online calendar where you can print it out already, why do you need these Pocket Mod and Hipster PDA? You can print it out and still be as organized (but not as well as someone with a Palm) as these Hipster and Pocket Mods.

Much of all these "cool" things miss the point of being organized quickly. There's so much work involved that you probably enjoy doing, but then, if you look at the whole picture, you've wasted quite a chunk of time designing, selecting, printing, cutting, and everything else involved. Time is money, especially if you're a professional. Time wasted on making, designing this Hipster PDA or Pocket Mod could have reaped you much more money had you used it wisely for work than this little side project.

Most people, unfortunately, are not aware that they waste more time on "organizing" things than actually doing things. Spending some time to organize is great as long as it's a little bit of time and will actually improve your productivity. But if it actually wastes your time, then, this whole idea defeats the whole purpose of being productive and organized.

That applies to all kinds of organizational tools, systems, ideas: Day-Timer, Palm, GTD, Covey, etc. Prioritize your tasks, reminders. Keep it simple. Complicating things won't help productivity or organization.
