Hello everyone :D

I know it's too late to ask this question as February is fast approaching.. but I just wanna ask, how many of the mylotters use a pocket planner??

Well I do.. :D I started in 2008 and at the end of the year it feels great to see your accomplishments for the whole year.. in 2009 when I became least active, I just fill the spaces with Bible verses to keep me going..

I already bought a red pocket planner for 2010, and hopefully, may God fill it with a lot of activities for me to keep busy..

I prefer keeping a pocket planner because I just find it personal and convenient for me.. :D

-----

So anyway, who among you uses a pocket planner?? or do you prefer a phone organizer instead?? or a PDA?? what are your gadgets/ materials to organize or plan your meetings/ appointments or trips??

Hi cecillecarmela!

I only started using planners around the second half of 2008. I was part of the college council (school year 2008-2009 and also the last year in college!), and it was important to keep track of important dates. It was fun having to fill in the dates with activities. Whenever the council had a successful activity, we would go out and celebrate. I can't help but smile whenever I take a look at what happened back then, it makes me feel fulfilled lol

And now, I have a new planner, and it's red too! lol My phones have planners too, but I find it too tedious to fill in the dates. I'd rather write them down. I think it helps with my memory too! Hahaha

I'm praying that God will continue to shower me with lots of blessings and activities. I pray that He will shower you with more blessings!

Cheers! Happy MyLotting! lol

Great:))

I also started keeping a planner in 2008 because I became active in extra-curricular activities:D I love that you also keep track of the important dates too.. and may God fill our pocket planners with lots of fun activities for others:D it's really fulfilling to see your accomplishments in the end of the year and thank God for
them:)

When I was in college, I used pocket planner so I won't forget the deadlines of projects, assignments, and other academic requirements. It's really helpful because you can easily see the activities you have day by day. I remembered that during so-called 'hell weeks', the planner was so full of deadlines, exams! That's was so argh! hahaha

But now, I'm using my phone as organizer. hehehe


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

Thanks for the response kyel.. so you prefer phone than the conventional pocket planner??

I used my phone organizer.
I also have a pocket planner but I seldom remember it to bring with me.
Compared to my phone I never forget to bring it.
It also has an alarm. So I am reminded of the things I need to do.

i think for now, cellphone is just fine :D

I go for any planner instead of the phone organizer so I can doodle more stuff than usual. I was not able to buy one yet but hopefully I get to buy one soon since I have so many in depth thoughts about what is happening to my life. This is the worst year for me and hopefully I get thru it without any tears coming out from my eyes.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

Hmmm... how can you say that this is your worst year?? there are many more months to come.. it's only January :D think positive :) I believe you can get through it. I hope you believe it to :D

I keep a date book, it is great for me because it gives me plenty of room to write my tasks for the day and cross them off when they are completed. I use my phone sometimes, but for me, writing is easier and my thoughts can get out faster that way.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

Thanks and same here :) I prefer pocket planners/ date books than cellphone :) you can personalize it more than the phone :D

To be honest, I don't use either one! I just make notes in a little notebook pad that I carry around in my purse. I have owned pocket planners and so on, but I still find myself going back to the little notepad. What I am bad about though is, if I need to jot down something real quick, I will write in down on whatever is available to me at the moment and tend to forget to put it in my notepad. Lol!


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

Hahahaha :D well I guess a notepad also works for me, but I prefer a sketch pad more.. :D I just hate those lines which for me seems too organized.. at least with sketch pad, I can write more freely, without caring what direction would it be.. :D

thanks for participating tinalb :D nice to know your comments. and God bless :)

Firstly, let me categorize myself

Im a student, i have strict budgets, im a technology geek, i do have pace with technology
ad now if i add a few bucks more to a pocket planner then i could get myself a good phone. not only that would be good for my budget for that would be good for multitasking too.

i think, you should start reading some tech magazines before posting such "ancient" questions haha

Thanks for the very kind response cookiebaker. God bless.

I use my phone organizer, but yeh i think it's good to write things down then see your acomplishments in the future. I perosnally like them, becuase sometime i forget things and then it becomes easier to remember what i need to do and what i have done.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

I agree :) thanks redex1 and God bless :)

Nowadays, I just use either my mobile phone, iPod Touch or my own brain as a pocket planner. They do the job absolutely perfectly and saves me carrying about a separate pocket plannerhappythumbup


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,944 in life  3 years ago

thanks MrKennedy :D I guess it depends on the person :) Personally I prefer the conventional one :) but I'd also love to have an iPod Touch as my phone organizer :)

One great things that we have in our present mobile phone model today is that we can install a lots of useful application on it. And with regards to your question, i use my mobile phone as my organizer. My phone model works as a cellphone and a personal data assistant in one. See its so practical and handy because i will not able to carry 2 gadgets anymore.

Hello cecillecarmela
I use a calendar. I do not day planner or phone organizer. I never felt the need even with two teenage daughters and there activities and work schedules.
I do not go on trips for work.
Have a great day
Sincerely Unique16
