re: What kind of planner do you use? |

Mariangie,
(love your name btw)
Just like you I have tried all kinds of systems. I even sat through a Franklin Covey class.
What I've found is that I work best with a running to-do list. I prioritize the items as A, B or C (A being a high-priority item). I cross items off as they are completed or I decide it is something I no longer need to do. Up until recently I kept the list in a tiny spiral notebook that could easily slip into a purse. The drawback was having to carry a separate address/phone book.
However, last month I was shopping at Target and found a mini-planner from Franklin Covey. It has a calendar, notes section, tasks section, and an address book. I've been using the tasks section to keep my to-do list and the notes section to sketch out mini-mind maps when an idea pops into my head.
On my desk in my office I keep a daybook that shows my daily schedules... any classes I am teaching, appointments, phone time, conference calls, etc. My mom sends me one each year that she orders from Birds & Blooms :-)
You could do all that with a larger planner, but to me it was awkward to keep up with. Plus the planners usually have all kinds of sections and pages that I didn't use, so it was really a waste.
