Taylor Planner

OK, So I bought this Taylor Planner - I can't use it. I like the layout of the pages, however the calendars start on Monday and go through Sunday. I am such a creature of habit that I continually list appointments on the wrong days because of this. I missed something that happened on Wednesday that I penciled in on Thursday. I just can't do it. So it is in the pile in the back of the file cabinet. :-(

new addition to the organizing tool pile

OK, So I received Circa 3x5 card notebook (translucent action folio) today from Levenger. It comes with these pages that will hold 3 x 5 cards inside. We all know they have nice quality products and nothing is cheap. This was no exception, however you could not recreate this notebook with their products for less. The pages come 2 in a pack for $10. You get 8 of those here. The notebook is about the size of a regular spiral bound notebook. So I got the notebook, now I just need to get my action items on index cards (oh yeah, I got a FREE sample pack of 75 of those with the notebook). Will this do the trick to make me feel organized?

Not feeling organized

OK, So lately, I have not felt organized so I was going to do something about it. Usually If I just spend an hour or two writing down all of the tasks I have to do I feel better. I have dumped them out of my head and on paper and I no longer have to remember them. Well I just can't seem to find the time to do that. Hmmm...I'm going to try tomorrow. I don't like to feel unorganized.

Life should be simple...

Like the 3x5 card!

OK, So here is what is going on in my "trying to be organzied" life and "everything has a plan" world even when I am not organzied or planning but still continuing to collect paper planning tools!

Why 3x5 notes?

OK, So here I am - by accident. I thought maybe I could post SMALL (no more than might fit on a 3x5 card) notes about me and what's going on. Is this a selfish way of telling people about me? Maybe, but hopefully what is going on in my life is not all about me. :-) I guess we will see.
