Organizers...
Okay, so in this current electronics age...Do you still use a Franklin Planner? If not, what electronic tools or methods do you use to keep track of tasks?
The reason I ask is that I've never been a real strong Franklin Planner guy. I just lack the discipline to use it. I also keep a lot in my head and a lot in my laptop... But I see the merit/value of getting more organized...
So what tools are you using?

I use a gigantic calendar at home that has a built in pocket to store stuff that you need on those dates you write on it.
At school I am a faithful desk blotter/calendar user.

I use Outlook - including the task menus. However, for the most important tasks...the only thing that works for me is to schedule them into the calendar and block off time. If I have the time, I must do the task. Sometimes it actually works.

I'm an avid user of Outlook (not OutLook Express) also, with reminders set from the calendar. For organizing those thousand disconnected scribbled notes on pieces of paper I've found MS OneNote to be a SUPER tool.
For long-term projects at work, MS Project gives me everything I need, plus. Good professional tool for me.

What year is this?
I still hand write mysef notes and keep them in my back pants pocket. And if I remember which pocket they are in I get the things done...lmao!
Oh, and I also slap post-it's around the house and write stuff on the calender. Now if I look up on my kitchen cabinets the notes will remind me. And if I remember to change the calender to the next month I am aware of upcoming events...if I've actually written them down!
Somehow things get done anyway.

I use Outlook, and print off the next seven days for my Dayrunner on Saturday morning.

That's exactly where my printout of all my personal targets goes.
