365 Days of Productivity
Why I Started Using a Traditional Daily Planner in the Digital Age
It’s not a hipster thing. It’s a productivity and organization thing
I’m a busy person.
So are you.
It could be easily argued that we’re too busy and that the challenge of staying organized and on a schedule is becoming counter-productive.
There’s just too much. Things were getting lost in the mix.
I may have found a solution.
Three weeks ago I bought a daily planner, then moved all of my work-related tasks to that and took them off of my phone’s Google calendar.
It has made all the difference.
All-digital organizing was not working for me
Between all that I have going on throughout the week as a husband and father, a freelance writer, a freelance layout person, and… y’know… regular person, things were getting lost in the shuffle. I was forgetting doctor appointments and family events at our library because the notifications were coming in along with all of the reminders to finish an article or contact a business, or upload files to a printer or any other little task coming my way.
