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

I do carry my planner...Submitted by cornell on April 13, 2007 - 1:42pm.
I do carry my planner everywhere, for the reasons others talked about: In addition, carrying it with me brings peace of mind - it allows me to check my calendar to verify I shouldn't be doing something else. I know my brain well enough to realize it might "up and bite me," so I need to be prepared to put it at ease. Another thing that's useful is the phone numbers in it, although many people now have those on their cells. [more thinking...] I also carry printed "drops in the bucket" to share with people (http://www.bucketbook.com/drops/print.aspx). Cheers! » POSTED IN:
