Getting Organized!

I read a blog on digital vs. paper planning and felt the need to comment. Now that I've used my Franklin Planner for over a year, I feel like an expert ready to expand on its greatness. Must just be making up for my giving up on preaching DIR diving. Now I'll preach about Organization.

Here's my comment on Digital vs Paper Planning:

I’m a Hybrid. The key is notetaking. Nothing handheld and digital is capable of taking notes at a meeting, a phone call, or your boss popping in the office saying I need “XYZ”. I love my Franklin planner for notes, goals, and to-do list. I also end up booking appointments in it as well because it so fast to see the big picutre of my month, week, and day. Once a week I sync my written calander of appointments with my digital world of outlook and SalesLogix CRM. All my name address and phone is digital and I mix in my appointments. That then syncs to my HTM WM 6.0 phone. Now I can stay in contact and still take fast notes on paper.
Going one step further I decided to by a messanger bag for my gadets (Ipod, Garmin Nuvi, and camera. I just made sure it was just big in enough for a few files and my planner. Now all my toys play nice together.
