Do you have a planner or an organizer?

I have an organizer, without that I would be late for all appointments and be at my maximum forgetful self!!! I make marks, notes before going to sleep or whenever I remember them. But sometimes it so happens that my organizer reminds me and I still forget when I decide to do it a little later...ha ha

Yes, I do have a planner-organizer. I conduct training programs and travel from time to time. Without my planner, I would get lost on what to do. I have different schedules to attend to, so I make sure, I plan each of them. Most especially that my training is conducted in different places and I have to travel by boat or by plane. I do live a busy life and I have to admit that I do not have a good memory. So it is really worthwhile for me to plan and organize things to make life easier and so as not to miss out important items.

I use my Iphone to plan my schedule. I find it much more easier (although a little boring in entering with one finger) and at least I can read it because my hand writing is not that legible. (Should have been a doctor 0except I was bad at math and science) It is quite easy to me to find out when what appointment is when so that I do not get any that overlap.

Hey Clouds, Yours is a story similar to mine with a difference - I found that getting organized is easy and fun. Here is what you can do - 1. If you use Microsoft Office on your PC you already have an Organizer and planner named - Microsoft Outlook. 2. If you want some other way, you can put up the planned schedule on a note paper and stick it on your work desk. I tried both and am now more organized than before.

Yes I have a paper planner as well as an organiser application on my iphone. I have ditched all my organisers for the summer holidays. They will be put into full use when college starts in September. Usually I'm good at organising things as long as I have a planner to list everything in or obviously I'm going to forget I'm very forgetful... Anyway the way I use my planner is that as soon as I have a task I need to do I just write it into today's day and write when it's due. I prioritise what I will be doing for the day and then I try to get to work (as long as I am not procrastinating, it's something I do a lot though I am trying to improve that), Once I complete a task I will tick off whatever it was on the list and I give myself a reward for having done the task by putting my feet up with a nice cup of tea to go along with it. I then move onto my next task and I do this until all the tasks for the day are finished. Sometimes when it gets boring I may change the day for a particular task for a later date, or if I feel I need more time on it. My biggest advice is that you get a good template to fill in a weekly timetable, then have another small notebook for writing the list of things you need to get done. Search online for some templates that will suit your style there are some good ones out there so just pick what you think would be best for you to use. Then plan out your schedule and treat it seriously as if you were working for a big company that relies on you a lot and that you'd get fired if you don't get on and finish your tasks. Don't procrastinate. To enjoy your tasks a bit more have a snack and drink while you're at it but don't forget your task because you're too busy eating. Try to enjoy your task and maybe have some background music playing. If any of these things will distract you then don't do them as getting your task is the most important thing. When you've finished all your tasks enjoy the feeling of freedom until your next set of tasks arrive :)

i usually just make a list of things that i need to get done. Not in a planner just on a sheet of paper and i just mark it off as i get it done. i would probably never use a planner or organizer i would forget about it lol. It is just easier to make a list on paper.
