I use these files for weekly occurrences, rather than adding 7 (not easy, particularly at month end!) - eg kids' after-school activities.

I have revived the file I had once abandoned. Since this one list was such a huge help, I would be interested in seeing what other people keep in their Ticklers... (Thanks, DA!)

It's now one of my favorite GTD components. Before GTD I used to hate paper and was always concerned about losing track of paper articles that I needed on a specific day. My tickler file erased all of the angst I had about paper; even more than my reference files. I just got tickets to an event today; they are now resting in my tickler file, waiting to show up again exactly when I need them.
