My husband uses a paper-based system for GTD. He keeps track of things in a mid-sized notebook (~4"x6"), which has a list of things that need to get done soon, time estimates for each task, and a priority ranking. When one page is mostly full of crossed out (finished) tasks, he moves the remaining 1-3 to the next available page. He also has a file drawer with hanging folders for his tickler file—one folder per day of the month and one for each month. In it he has things like concert tickets and all kinds of reminders on sticky notes or small slips of paper. He carries a small notepad (~2.5"x4") for recording reminders when away from his desk.
