I'm still getting my system in order, too...</p> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 04:56:45 -0400 caligatia comment 319220 at http://www.diyplanner.com http://www.diyplanner.com/node/5983 <p>I spent some time this afternoon using a manual typewriter Matt and I rescued from the curb to type headings on the pages of my new circa compact planner.</p> <p>I went into more detail on what is included in my blog<br /> <a href="http://diysara.wordpress.com" />LINK</a></p> <p>I'm so optimistic about this ... I feel I've really found what will work for me after all the recent life changes.</p> <p>The Start Naked Method!<br /> I highly recommend grabbing a blank notebook or stack of index cards and discover what your needs are. Things you must include will become evident quickly -- like my need for "Important Numbers" (I don't like to use my cell phone's contacts since its really for emergencies only...) and my need for a place to log the books I want to read. (I can never recall the title of the book I wanted to get once I walk through those library doors! must be those anti-theft gates)</p> <p>Other things that your planner should include may take some time to develop. But when they do... you'll have a custom planner for yourself and your needs. And when you assemble your planner - I recommend having some blank pages so you can evolve and create new sections when the need arises. I have a big area of blank pages ready to refill my Brain Dump or create a new list for the reference section.</p> <p>so wish me luck! This will be my first week carrying my new compact planner... and I've dusted off my levenger zip folio too :D I love that I can have it contained in soft leathery goodness or naked and in my purse for space saving convenience. Best of both worlds... i'm crossing my fingers on this one.</p> <p>I hope to take pics and get them up soon. :) I hope this is the solution to my puzzle!</p> http://www.diyplanner.com/node/5983#comments General Discussion Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:38:27 -0400 Sara 5983 at http://www.diyplanner.com
