Carry Planner All the Time??
srfarr | Apr 12 2007
One of the tenets I thought David Allen put forward was to carry what ever you used as your planner (notebook or PDA) at all times. I can see the value of capturing something that comes to me at dinner, but using either of these mechanisms seems a bit much. What sort of balance do you strike? 19 Comments

 Not necessarily the planner, but the UCTSubmitted by Antemeridian on April 12, 2007 - 8:47am.

I can see the value of capturing something that comes to me at dinner, but using either of these mechanisms seems a bit much. What sort of balance do you strike? The way I see things is that you don't always need your planner with you, but you should always try to have an Ubiquitous Capture Tool (UCT) with you. Now, this is different for a lot of people. Some people carry voice recorders, or a small stack of index cards or post-its, etc. I myself usually try to ensure I've got my pocket Moleskine handy for those things I need to capture ASAP. Then, when I get to where I've got an inbox, I process the entries just like everything else. I find, I don't always need all my lists, calendar, etc, with me everywhere, so this works best. HTH.
