If you've ever had to write a speech, make flash cards for revision or have made a Hipster PDA in the past, you'll probably have used 5 x 3 record cards at some point. Also known as index cards, note cards or system cards, these handy little slips of thin card have a multitude of uses that you might not normally consider:

• Why not use index cards to make a daily to do list?
• Take bullet point notes in a meeting - using a notebook can lead to writing too much down - record simple points and actions rather than an entire meeting!
• Create the aforementioned Hipster PDA.
• Use instead of post-its - sure, post-its have the gummed back edge but a pin-board of index cards is easier to reposition several times and they won't then fall down if it gets too cold!
• Use as concise recipe cards - ingredients on one side, then instructions on the other.
• Shopping lists - keep one handy around the house and jot down items when you need them, then take the card shopping and cross off items as you go.
• Use them as a revision aid - write down important subject matter on one side and related and relevant matter on the other - test yourself and see if you can remember the relevant matter after reading one of the sides.
