The ‘Robert Greene’ Method of Writing Books

Hi Paulo,

I randomly stumbled upon your great post while looking for Robert Greene’s index card system. Another interesting aspect of RG’s system is using colored cards to represent different categories.

So, for instance, with the War book, blue cards would be about politics, yellow strictly war, green the arts and entertainment, pink cards on strategy, etc. I could use this in several ways. I could glance at the cards for one chapter and see no blue or green cards and realize a problem. I could also take out all the cards of one color to see which story I liked best, etc.

Keep up the great work!
