I tried a Palm years ago when they were fairly new, but nobody I knew had one, so whenever I whipped it out people backed away slowly, saying: "You own one of THOSE?" like it was a BMW or something. Sigh. And it was more time consuming to open and write into. I went back to day planners, but I have to have month-at-a-glance rather than week-at-a-glance calendars. I've gotta be able to see the whole month before I plan something. My little planner is full of extra notes, grocery list, wish list, to-do list, etc. <br /><br />I started keeping a calendar/to-do list decades ago when I missed an important meeting with my son's teacher. And found myself driving past places I needed to stop and backtracking. <br /><br />Great post, thanks.Lonnie Crusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617936690870869287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-56134198416016174732009-09-11T10:15:29.648-04:002009-09-11T10:15:29.648-04:00I avoid technology whenever possible.

My address book/day planner keeps me from total disorganization.<br /><br />I also have a wet-erase two-calendar system on the wall for more immediate activities. I have four kids and they're color coded. I can tell at a glance who has tests, games, lessons, etc... It is a system that works wonders for our family.<br /><br />Except for when someone gets the bright idea to use the calendars for target practice with their squirt gun. But that's a different subject.Krishttp://blog.thedetectivemom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-9516256589374866082009-09-10T18:51:56.152-04:002009-09-10T18:51:56.152-04:00I keep many, many lists on paper.

I have enough to last for the rest of my life.<br /><br />I also have a notebook that I keep lists of things that I have to do on a more long term basis.<br /><br />An no, I don't use my iPhone or my computer for either. My iPhone because I don't really know how to use it for much of anything yet and the computer because I probably couldn't find the list after I made it.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

I do make lists, but not as many as I used to, and I try to keep track of all dates on the little fridge calendar. Mostly, I make lists in my head! Sometimes I can't fall asleep at night for hours as I organize my life in my brain. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />SusanSusan McBridehttp://susanmcbride.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-73261494823991876292009-09-10T09:12:12.199-04:002009-09-10T09:12:12.199-04:00I am list-obsessed and dominated.

It's a flaw and a problem at times.<br /><br />I keep a revolving main list of pertinent info (that vacuum cleaner bag size, etc.) and a to-do list, in general order of importance and deadline as one calendar entry entitled "Agenda" in MS OutLook. I look at it several times a day, change it, then eventually move it to the next date on the calendar. It never goes away.<br /><br />That seems to be all I need. Otherwise, deadlines for contract work and social events all have their own entries on OutLook, some with reminders set to pop up at me a given number of hours or days beforehand. Like I need those because I review my calendar probably at minimum six times a day.<br /><br />And, did I mention that I'm list-obsessed?Vicky Politonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-55466106409356033302009-09-10T08:34:47.329-04:002009-09-10T08:34:47.329-04:00I have a Franklin Covey paper planner that I'v...I have a Franklin Covey paper planner that I've been using for about 15 years as well. Started with the little one and graduated to the big mama about 12 years ago. It has my entire life in it and every day, I write down my to-do list, crossing off what I've accomplished with a sense of pride (we won't talk about the things that don't get crossed off and appear every day). I haven't been able to really use my BB to its full advantage. I guess I'm rocking it old school but glad I have company like you Evelyn!.
