Do you use index cards?

I’ve written several screenplays, two, that I feel worthy to show to others, and I have never quite tried using index cards to lay out the structure and pacing of those screenplays. I have always used the computer and just written out story beats. I can see advantages to both methods, but using index cards may be a good idea simply because you can do it anywhere. In other words you can get away from your computer and all the distractions that come with it.

John August recently posted some good tips on using index cards. I am researching my next screenplay now, so I think I’ll use the index card method this time and see how it goes.
