I write all my stuff on a notebook piece of paper and update it with different reminds, sort of like a daily planner. If I buy a planner, I wont use it...wierd I know.
I work in corporate America as well...everyone has briefcases and daily planners and take their laptops home with them...I could care less. Its just easier for me to keep track of it on paper. |

Post-it's. I have about a kabillion post it notes on my desk. It works for me.
Beyond that, I keep a journal of my daily phone conversations and a to-do list in the same journal. I mark off the action items as I get them done and make sure they don't go longer than a week before I get them done. Good luck with the business, I just started my own as well.

here is the planner page i created... to carry with me each day. maybe not the planner, but definately this page. then i plan to compile it, and use it as my journal...
should be interesting to document my life... i used to keep a journal when i was younger, i have... 16 journals full of my writings... heh. my kid will have a joy reading through thousands of his dads thoughts. [i was smart enough to filter out most of the crazy shit...for posturity's sake.] |

business time 9-5 will be in the journal area, and ON THE BACK of the sheet..... i need to organize 6-12 better also, and be to sleep by 12:30 1ish... 5:30 is new target wake up time... [although im finishing up a night hour gig this week...]
im looking to get as much done as possible before i start working... i.e. reading, working out, some occasional tai chi, walk, run, private p0rn time, etc... in the am. |

piece of paper and post it's ... heh if it works for you, right on. post its are just additional clutter in my world.
the other day, i was driving up Nall, and i look over and see 4 wooden crates from Sound Warehouse, that used to hold albums in the stores... anyway, a sign that said "take me" so i brought them home and stacked them by my pc... oh, man... my work area is so much less cluttered now... used the bottom one as a bookshelf... one for papers and bills and shit... one for the magazine and the book I am currently reading... one for my printers and speakers... and the top for my scanner, and chess set, with my sports scultures [ priest, tony g, george brett, don mattingly] on top of chess board... worked out beautifully. |

I'm a huge believer in the PDA (i.e., personal digital assistant, e.g., palm pilot). That thing is a godsend.

I can't find an apricot PDA, but if I could...
Actually, the funky PDA language is only if you want to write. On my Dell Axim, I can "type" by pecking at a little touchscreen keyboard with the stylus. I've also got an almost-full-size keyboard that I can use with it. It folds up so that it's no larger than the PDA when you're carrying it around. Since the PDA has MS word on it, I can use it like a mini-laptop when I'm at meetings and stuff, and people think I'm really cool.

I like the FranklinCovey system. It looks pretty similar to what you have designed for yourself, though.

I think a better question is what can I do to get organized. I sometimes think I am until I see what I thought was a pile of crap until I realize it is suposed to be my pile of important documents, and I need to be in a meeting 5 minutes ago.

i have done real well today. i called 2 clients, 3 of my designers, done some design work, did a bit of tai chi, my web browser was down for 5 hours, and i had another revolutionary brainstorm. ill design fruity colored PDA's and sell them to wannabe eccentrics.
