mercredi, janvier 07, 2004 Almost every start of year since the year I started using them, I've been faced with a singular problem - how do you pick out a year planner for the year? Do you use the one your workplace gave you, and risk facing (in my case), a daily planner that screams ORANGE and blue in your face everytime you pick it up, or should you use the one your insurance agent gave you - you know, THAT boring one. Or should you wait for your Sunday School teacher to perform her yearly ritual of giving nice Christian-themed planners? Except that she usually gives them out for Christmas, and she didn't this year (what happened, you wonder.)Every year, I would take a planner and start using it, writing notes and dates in them. However, I would get past about two weeks on that planner, and then a new one would come along, given by someone else; smaller, sleeker, prettier, more meaningful - and then I would transfer all my scribblings to the new one, leaving the old one to rot in some corner of the house, which is a total waste of a perfectly good calendar. But I think I've figured out how to solve this problem. The solution is to not write your name and personal details in the diary's detail page. It's true! Every planner that I started got dumped in a corner after I switched planner. But last year, I didn't bother writing my name in the planner because I figured I would come across something better... but I didn't, and I used that planner for the entire year. So I think the solution is to pretend that you aren't really using the planner, so the planner lets its guard down... after about 2 months or so of stalking your prey, you pounce upon it and fill in that first page (name, contact, blood group, in-case-of-emergency numbers) and declare yourself the owner of that planner. Yay! [Planning to plan] |
