  • I saw an article that introduced how to do kanban using Paper folder, and tried to do KJ method with it.
  • Conclusion: Not good
  • A3 is too small to do KJ method.
    • Three folders of sticky notes for one lecture.
  • Well, but it has the advantage of being able to carry it safely, or open it and lay it out on the go.
  • If you have to put a sticky note on the back of a notepad Rhodia, a folder is much better than a sticky note on the back of a notepad.
    • If you put it on a Rhodia, it’s just a bunch of Rhodia, plus it ruins the functionality of the Rhodia.
  • Wife’s advice
    • The first thing you should do is write an explanation on the tab.
      • Writing on both sides is good because it can be seen from either side
      • One of my bad habits is to unconsciously think about reusing folders.
      • By writing a description on the tab and labeling it “Exclusive/Use-all”, it becomes “A3 cardboard that can be written on” instead of just “something to put sticky notes in”.

      • It’s easier to prepare and place an A4 sheet of paper than to start with this, but it seems possible to use them together.
