Friday Feature: Paper Planners

Earlier this week, I wrote about my goal setting session and yesterday, I was all excited about my latest foray into technology. Although I get excited when the tech works in my favor, I am, at heart, a paper and pencil girl. I have five planners, and not a single one of them is electronic.

I know it's old school, but I also know I'm not alone. And, in case I need proof, this piece by Kristin Wong in none other than The New York Times cites not only people who agree with me, but also their reasons for doing so.

Similar to the book/Kindle argument, this one has passionate proponents on both sides. With which side do you align?

Friday Freebie: Organizing Our Thoughts

In honor of the new year, I've been writing a lot about calendars and planners over at Organizing By STYLE. Whether your preference is the traditional paper planner or a high-tech electronic version, a planner is one of the simplest memory joggers there is.

I've reached the age where I'm in favor of pretty much anything that improves my memory -- whether it's writing things down or any of the other memory tricks in this article from Prevention.

I have to admit, though, that my favorite tip in this piece is the first one: take a break. What's yours?
