I'm taking a poll. How the heck do you keep yourself organized?
Here are the systems I have tried:
- simple assignment book
- Evernote
- Fliq
- a steno notebook
- iPhone notes
- David Allen folder craziness
- Google Notebook
I do ok with the calendar -- almost always get the important stuff in there. I waver about how much to schedule the rest of my time, chafing at the idea of every single minute of my day being pre-planned. Thankfully now my Google calendar, iCal, and iPhone calendars are synced, and that seems to be working.
Clearly, I have not found the Next Best Thing! It's just around the corner, I can feel it. (cough, cough) Hm. Ideas? Sympathy?

As a general rule I just assume that if I can't remember, then it isn't too important anyway.
ReplyDeleteBut since I also like a good backup plan...Outlook synced with my blackjack (PDA phone) has worked pretty well for my needs.

I have a daily planner in my purse and I use both Microsoft Works Calendar and Google Calendar. And I STILL don't follow my schedule or remember things! (sigh) The most important things I do remember, like Feast, LSA meetings and my recovery obligations. But everything else seems to be relegated to some back end of my mind, in spite of my frequent reminders.
ReplyDeleteI have trouble scheduling every minute and every activity of my day, too. I've lived my life according to my whims, mainly my rather self-centered, idle fancied/vain imaginings. But I keep on trying. That's all I can do, one day at a time.
