An Orgy of Organization
Getting an assignment book/calendar thing last year changed my life for the better. Though I've had about a million Filofaxes, notebooks, datebooks and even a Palm Pilot (a million, I say), this is the first time I've used something consistently. It has taken the stress of remembering every blessed thing happening in my life off of my mind...which is of incalculable benefit. Judging by the popularity of these things, this clearly is revelatory only to me. Color me a fan, color me impressed...just never color me badd.
Ever.
My delight in this "personal accountability" concept you people seem to talk so much about has only broadened with my discovery of the newfangled Google calendar. Minus the strange military time interface, I couldn't be more pleased. Well, I could. But that would probably involve hot cocoa. Or figs. Naturally, the calendar is available wherever you can get an Internet hook-up - meaning you can keep numbers, dates, etc. in there that you might need on the fly. Even if you forget your datebook!
TECHNOLOGY!
WHAT? WILL? NEXT?
This just may replace my previous system of e-mailing everything to my Gmail account and then just searching for "Matt address Eastchester" or "car Brooklyn" or "budget Vegas escort" on an as needed basis. I was ahead of my time, this much is true - but dem cats done caught up and passed me.
Google, I think I loove yoo.
More organization tips here, PS, thanks to Manhattan User's Guide.
