I've been using everything from Things and The Hitlist to Remember the Milk and Ta-da list; used GMail to keep track of tasks; written two task list applications for the console; created three web-based (three different approaches) systems.
I went out and bought a Moleskine to use while doing some research on how I'd manage tasks using a notebook. I've been using the darn book since June now and all of my previous endeavors have been discontinued.
There are so many positives with using a notebook. I can disconnect from the computer while planning my day. I can draw stuff in it. It's a neat feeling to have a good-looking notepad with you into a meeting. You get to spend hours in the store looking for the perfect pen. You can really cross something off a list. Just flipping through the pages gives me a great sensation of accomplishment.
I'm getting the 12-month daily planner next year as I am already adding date and weekday to all pages. I'm so looking forward to that :)
EDIT: Sorry about all the typos. Really .. really tired :)
- dhimes 17y agoEDIT: Sorry about all the typos. Really .. really tired :) Maybe if you were more organized.... (just kidding-- I couldn't resist) I'm a notebook man myself. Haven't graduated to moleskine yet, just the composition books for "back-of-the-envelope" type notes, and spirals for meeting/strategy/etc. notes. I use Daytimer for calendar, but am starting to migrate to Thunderbird/Lightning for the monthly planning and weekly meeting stuff. It's a bad method to have more than one calendar, so I haven't quite resolved that yet. Daily to-do lists go in the Daytimer, numbered and prioritized.
