Calendars – When Is It Time To Switch To An Electronic Calendar?
I am in the people business. And in the people business, there are several different calenders someone can choose from for themselves. I have a hard time remembering a time when I wasn’t using an electronic calendar.
But what I do remember is using a 1 page planner that would last for a week. It was actually pretty effective for what I was using it for. I had sections on the back for goals I was trying to achieve, things I needed to focus on, people that I needed to follow-up with in the near future and then a task list. The only problem was that every week I needed to pull out a new calendar for a new week.
Today, I use my iPhone to track all of these things – and I think this is becoming a reality for a lot of people. With an App for just about anything you can think of, it lets me keep track of all the same things, just minus the paper. Much more efficient, plus it beeps at me to remind me of stuff. What more could a guy ask for?
