Tickler or Calendar
juman | Oct 13 2006
I am slowly building my way up to a blackbelt but one thing I haven't really got going for me is if I should use the ticklerfile or the calendar for some things. Booking a meeting is of course something for the calendar but going through some papers the day before the meeting where should they go? I have to go through them before the meeting but not exactely the day before but it is nice to have a full day to make sure I get the time to go through them. This is one case and whatever it is I am thinking about putting into the tickler I find myself putting more and more as events into a calendar which give me an easier overview. So when doing a weekly plan if I see that my Tuesday is getting to much work in it I can easier see what I have to review that day and see if I can move them. Any ideas and thoughts about this? What do you put in your tickler or what goes into your calender as an event to do on a specific day? 18 Comments

 I use a tickler list...Submitted by DStaub11 on October 20, 2006 - 10:35pm.
I use a tickler list in my planning file in Word, associated with The Drawer where all pieces of paper associated with actions live. This has been working well for a while now. More details: My planning file has an ongoing list of the current day and future days and months. I have the next six months in there and add days as needed. So for instance, I might type in "art society meeting" (directions in D) on October 21. The printout of the email giving directions are in The Drawer. I'm noticing as I search for examples that most of these items are hard landscape. Do I not have that many actual tickler items that are not appointments? There are usually tasks that need to be done by a certain date. In these cases, the task is on a context list with (D) if there's an associated piece of paper, the associated piece of paper is in The Drawer, and the planning file tickler has a note on the last possible day to do it (in case I don't keep up with my NA lists). Hope this makes sense! Do Mi » POSTED IN:
