I am a "plan-a-holic" and just got the Franklin Planner for Christmas. What is everyone's fav planner? Do you really feel more organized?

I am not at all because I have too many systems going on at once!

I too am a planner freak - there is just something about writing my info, dates, and address info down thats exciting

I do like the Franklin planner - as well as this huge At-A-Glance one I have at work. I have such an office supply fetish I should be trolling for guys at Office Max lol

I also have a Franklin, and have used it for about 8 years. While in school it helped me keep track of all my obligations. I stopped using it for awhile--but I am going back to it. I do not take it places with me, like I use to. It sits on the corner of my desk--I don't use the appointment schedule too much--but I use the calendars and the daily activity section to keep track of my family's schedule.

Any PDA. What paper planner lets you doodle, play games, and record lectures while you look busy busy busy

? Not to forget, the alarms to remind you things. However, the price can range from 75-475$!

But, if you can't afford one or hate electronics, Franklin Convey planners are pretty good.

I am a Franklin addict. I used to have the pocket sized in Seasons and it got me through college, law school and my first year of practice (along with one of those huge breif case looking ones that sat on my desk). Last year I got my first palm. I bought the m100 just after it came out b/c the one I really wanted was like $500 and I wasn't going to spend that much on something I knew I might lose. Then my office got the Franklin for Outlook users software. We all use it and sync our palms to our office computers and that way I have my office calendar with me all the time as well as my personal calendar. I think it might just be the best organizational tool ever!

I am also an office supply-aholic. I have been way bummed since the 24 hour Staples down the street from me cut back its hours the last week of October. My new favorite pen is the Dr.Grip gel. Too bad the guys there aren't that cute.

I have a PDA but also have to have a At-A-Glance books. If I don't write it down, I'll forget about it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that you do need a little memo book or something if you have a PDA.
You will not always have the time to write everything in it right away.

Paper is for wussies!! I live for my Handspring Visor Platinum. I truly believe that the Handspring line is far superior to the PalmPilot.

Okay, but I admit I do keep a little memo pad in the case, but I'm getting pretty good with the Graffitti function, so I may be able to give it up.

And if only it came with a strap so you could wear it on your forearm, right where I need it the most.

Lots and lots of post-its on my computer. That's the closest I get to a planner!!

I love my Handspring Visor Platinum. It's not the newest or smallest or slickest or anything, but it does the job and I am much more organized since I've gotten it. It's small enough for me to carry around so I always have it handy. It's also fun!

My next project is to get a new case for it. I want something small, with a notepad, that opens like a book, and is not leather -- any ideas?
