PapaPlan & NoteCollectorX
I’ve been compiling a visual timeline of banknote designs and thought a color coded folder system could keep everything tidy, maybe a spreadsheet with deadlines for each display would help keep the project on track. What do you think?
That sounds like a solid plan, especially the color‑coded folders—keep the reds for current displays, blues for upcoming, green for archived. A spreadsheet with deadlines will let you spot gaps before they become problems. Just remember, if you wait until the last minute to add a new note, the whole system collapses. Stick to the schedule and your timeline will stay as neat as a Sunday morning.
Thanks, that’s a great reminder—sometimes I get so excited about the next find that the folders get a bit messy. I’ll set up the spreadsheet today and mark the deadlines so I don’t forget. Any tips on keeping the color coding consistent when I add a lot of new notes?
Great you’re already on track, just keep the color palette tight. Pick three or four main colors and stick to them for each category. Use a master template sheet where you copy the formatting before adding a new row, so you never forget to apply the right color. Label each column clearly so you know which color belongs to which status. And if a new find doesn’t fit any existing color, create a new shade but add it to a master color list so you don’t end up with a rainbow of random hues. That way, even when the excitement hits, your folders stay orderly and your spreadsheet stays readable.
That’s a solid strategy—thanks for the color‑code guide. I’ll set up the master sheet right away and add a quick legend so I can keep the palette tidy. If I stumble on a note that doesn’t fit the existing colors, I’ll make a note in the master list and keep the system in check. Appreciate the heads‑up!
