As the fateful moment when I hit the button marked 'upload' draws ever-closer, I thought you might like to see my spreadsheet. This is Nemesis to Go Issue Seven in the raw:



Yes, now you mention it, it is lots of bits of paper stuck on a door. Isn't that how everyone does it?

That is exactly what the Rock Sound office looks like. Except the door is made of gold AND filled with chocolate...

What happens if one of the bits of paper falls off?!

I used to put meltdown pages into a booklet that was made up from those plastic folder sleeves and a ringbinder. It kept all the bits of paper with scribbly notes, ideas and phone numbers/emails of bands/advertisers together and then when the page was done, I could print off a hardcopy and slot it into the sleeve. This was the way I'd been shown to do it when I first started working on mags in the 90s and it served me well :)

What happens if one of the bits of paper falls off?!

I have a backup organisation procedure. It involves scrabbling around and swearing, basically.

I can't put stuff in a file or binder, or similar container, because I need to glance up and see everything at once. I can see an entire website on that door!

I once saw a photo of Nick Cave's piano in a recording studio. It was festooned with bits of paper bearing songs, bits of songs, and Nick's cryptic notes to himself. Prominently displayed was a notice saying, 'CLEANERS OR ANYBODY. PLEASE DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!'

A fine way of working, I think. Of course, I'd need a piano to do it properly, but for now a door will have to suffice.

Ahhh, I can see that DAF will be included.
I believe the Cave studio pic is on some CD inner - but which one, there's so many.
Mark finds notes all round the house; 'PJs in here, AM' on the Ali Baba etc. Even the spare Cheerios leave him notes saying 'Help, get us down'.

I always used the more conventional approach that Natasha mentions, with a file, as you could move 'sections' at will, but then I realise a pdf file lets you do that anyway, so I use a rough vertsion in that format.

The door method, which I have never seen before, looks like a form of ordered chaos, with an underlining touch of the mad professor about it, which is strangely charming.
