Getting Organized

Well, my little to-do list is still working well, although it does seem to end up that now a page is good for a week. I don't redo the list each and every day on a new page. So that seems to work OK too. What I'm finding a bit more challenging is organizing my schedule. I have a day-timer. I have a fold-out work schedule (on paper). I have my Outlook Calendar. Too many Calendars! I do like the day timer as it is easy to pack around and carry. Mind you, I know that nowadays most people have their calendars on their Blackberry or iPhone. I've still managed to avoid getting one of those, although I might not last much longer.

After a bit of dithering, I've started to use Google Calendar to keep track of my schedule, at least the big things. I can do things in different colours, which is important, as I'm a visual learner! I can see a week at a glance or a month or a year, which is nice as well. I can have different calendars on the same calendar - so my personal calendar, my work calendar, my list of birthdays, a friend's work calendar. I can show them all or hide some. Best of all, it can apparently be synced with Outlook Calendar, and is accessible on a Blackberrry or iPhone. So... let's give this a whirl and see how organized it keeps me!
