day planners

[Kolar]

I use a customized Google homepage which has a sticky note gadget if I need to write down something. Google calendar is also good for remembering assignments and meetings, you can add notes to calendar entries also.

You don't need a planner. Limit yourself to only one thing a day: excellence

Hurf durf look at me, I don't know what to do with myself today, I need a friggen planner of motivational posters and quotes from famous people!

I truly doubt that anyone who has enough time to post on these forums has that much shit to do that they need a day planner, or calendar for that matter. I'm probably one of the busier people on here balancing work, a couple classes, and my workout routine but I never have to put shit on my calendar...wtf do you own a business or something? People make me laugh with their need to feel important and busy

DAMNNNNN Jeenyuss, how do you find time to post 2.89 times a day?! You must have to drop your whole day in order to do that, holy shitttt.

You can't force yourself to use a day planner, some people just can't use them. I've tried, and just like you I can't do it. Between me and my brothers we have probably ten day planners that sit on a shelf in a box, and every single year on Christmas or our Birthday we get a day planner. It's sweet and all but I really don't think my mom has caught on to the fact that we'll probably never use them. I've got my class schedule on my wall, so I'm able to cross reference with what I have to do the next day and then I think about what is due tomorrow. I end up opening up my folder and looking through my binder to find a topical outline with specific dates when assignments are due.

You need to find a system that works for you, online calendars are alright but still require maintenance, so if you're prone not to use a day planner I'm not sure how much use you'll get out of a google calendar.

What i do it just remember what I have to do. Then again I tend to do finish all my assignments on the morning or night before they are due in -_-. Most lack or organisation is due to not wanting to do the things organised i find, rather than the method of orgnaisation... If you wanna do something (like that hot girl who sits infront of you) you tend to remember that youre meeting her tonight :P

If its something i think im going to forget i put it in my phones calender, which then coms up on my phones homepage and i can get it to set off an alarm to remind me. Nearly all modern phones have this functionality. It also means you dont forget to put stuff in the calender as you can do it there and then rather than wait untill you get home or near a computer....

Also don't write all that shit in your phone it will take forever. Just use one or two words that will trigger the memory. A name and a verb together work well. Examples (made up mostly):

-Empty bins (recurring thursday weekly)
- psy essay - 22/10/08
- do workout - tomorrow
- meet erin - friday night

Embrase the technological age.

I haven't used a planner since my second year in high school. Everything I need to do is all in my head.

It helps that, like flabby, I procrastinate a lot and tend to do everything the day before its due.
