I have long struggled with getting my life more organized, and making sure I don’t let things fall through the cracks. For me it is an uphill battle. My mid-term memory has never been that reliable. And, I suffer from a basic lack of education in this area. My best attempts have involved keeping notes in a pocket sized notebook.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a PDA, like a Palm or some such, but have had serious doubts as to whether I would actually use it. I have also dismissed the idea of a planner like the Day Runner because of it’s size and clumsiness.
In surfing some of my feeds today I came across the Computer Zen site entry on Personal Systems of Organization, which lead me to the Hipster PDA (and it’s wiki), and to the D*I*Y planner, and to the Moleskine Hack wiki, and to the GTDTiddlyWiki. Obviously I have some reading to do for today. But my initial reaction is – EUREKA!!!!
I do not know yet if this all will lead to me finally getting more organized about getting things done, but I do know that it will improve my currently sub-par system.
