One of the best new blogs I have recently discovered is Study Hacks. I graduated almost 20 years ago but I could read that blog for hours!! A gem I found on this site is Plan.txt The Productivity Tool You Haven’t Heard Of.
when it comes to planning out what we do each day, my experience is that there’s no magic system that applies to every situation. The realities of our daily lives change too much to be handled by any set rule.
I took that quote right from Cal’s post – it knocked me out! I thought I was a lazy, undisciplined bum but maybe there is a real reason why rigid planning systems never seemed to work for me for very long!
I love what he had done here and especially like his little notations with brackets (what is it about finding just the right notation – it shouldn’t make such a difference – but it does.) It’s a freeform to do list which stored on my USB drive (and this does manage to stay with me) serves me reasonably well.
I started to play with this idea but still missed Tsh’s format (see Part I or check out downloads from Simple Mom’s blog.
I remembered one other idea and finally had my answer! I’ll write about it soon in the last post (Part III).
