Plan? Er . . .

Posted July 31, 2007 By Dave Thomer

Back when I was in college, I sometimes lost track of projects or deadlines. I decided to get more organized and follow the example of my boss and picked up a planner with refillable calendar pages. Making To Do lists with the planner was helpful, although I sometimes dropped the habit for lengthy periods of time, which reduced several months of dated pages to scrap paper. Recently, I’ve been reluctant to even carry the thing in my backpack, because it adds a surprising amount of weight and bulk to the package. So I decided to pick up a simple notebook and make my To Do lists there. So far it’s been fairly successful, so I may be saving a bundle by not having to buy those dated pages anymore. Now there’s some smart planning.
