With the ETP Compact Notebooks doing well on Amazon to warrant a re-order, I’m feeling the urge to make something else! I have a few ideas:
- A skinny double-sided version of the Fast Book Outliner, printed in either pad or reporter-style notebook. I might use a different paper for this too, just to change things up. Target audience: people who are taking notes related to books for later reference, and want to make the task easier.
An improved double-sided version of the Emergent Task Timer; I’ve been using this recently and see some areas for improvement. Target audience: grad students
A test run of Compact Calendars, priced as cheap as possible possible. I probably would lose money on these, but I’d like to see if there were any buyers at all. I think I’d find out some interesting uses for them.

p>In the queue already are improvements to the existing ETP notebook in the form of a thicker cover; the printer is sourcing this for me right now. I’m also thinking about producing a limited run of ETP notebooks that are single-sided bound in a very thick hardcover. On the digital side of things, I’ve been reminded that the academic year starts in July, so it’s time to make updates of the 365-Day Almanac and Academic Calendar soon!
If there’s something that you’d like to see printed from my back catalog, let me know in the comments!

hmm… is there any way to make any of them on a sticky pad? (i recall discussion about this a while ago) honestly, i’d like all of them. here’s some thoughts about how/why i’d like them.
fast book outliner: i’m torn between begging for a bookmark/card stock type paper or something else (probably a 3×5 index card, i’m addicted to them.).
compact calendars on something small & cheap & sticky. I’m constantly looking for a calendar to stick into my notes and i’ll probably forget and leave it there… it doesn’t need to be nice paper … i just need to have the reference show up in whatever notebook is at hand.
i’m curious your ideas for ETT improvements. i was just thinking of this form today and will print one out to see if it solves a problem i was having tracking some projects…
as to from your back catalog… a 3×5 card pack of these: https://davidseah.com/blog/2006/05/intermittent-task-tracking/
Please keep a mini ETP version that is spiral bound. I have become seriously addicted! ;-)
The FBO in spiral bound would be useful. I am reading a larger than usual # of business books for a project. If I had a FBO notebook, I might remember to use it. I keep printouts in my home office, but they never seem to be where I need them.
Keep up the great work. Your forms & openness to share your struggles make a daily difference in my productivity.
Thanks!
Yay! I can’t wait to see the new products. I’m definitely in for the FBO. For the calendar, please offer the one with Saturday and Sunday together! I want to circle the weekend as a unit!
I think the Emergant Task Timer would be great, definately something for me!
