Getting Organized
This past month I have been doing something that I last did about 5 years ago. I’m switching my day planner system. I’ve been using a Franklin Covey Junior binder system for several years. I use a Blackberry but I’ve never been able to get away from writing my to-do lists out. It is the tactile aspect of paper.
The one thing I didn’t like about the Covey system was the size and weight of it. I carry a lot in my bag as it is. So, I started opting out on carrying my planner more and more.
I had a friend make me one and it is beautiful but I can’t add pages to it so I didn’t get very far with it.
Then I discovered Circa systems from Levenger. My system arrived and although it is taking a little getting used to I am enjoying the size of it. And I love that I can add pages.
I’ve also discovered that there are other people who think way too much about this stuff. I’ve got a whole community of people over at DIY Planners.
I love being organized. Now if I could only get on with being productive. That would be progress!
