My life is now in sync. JT bought this little planner for me and I just want to eat it up. For anyone who knew me in college, I had two color-coded planners and a tiny steno notebook that charted every obligation in a given day and the amount of time allotted to fulfill said task. Generally, a nap, an outing with friends, or some other spontaneous occurrence would interrupt schedule, and I scarcely got everything accomplished.
Looking back, I think I created a written semblance of order solely for the purpose of breaking it. The most fun I had happened when I was supposed to be studying, after all. Playing in the rain, driving across the state, laughing so hard I couldn't breathe with some friends in a coffee shop, or racing across town at 11:00 p.m. for a movie that started in twenty minutes. Those were the best times. Basically, while I spread my tasks across a sixteen-hour budget, I had entire days o
f leisure and completed some of my best work when rushed through a scrunched time frame.By senior year, I knew better; I graduated to schedules like this: So while my work schedule and current obligations aren't enough to afford me the bliss of color-coding and obsessive-compulsive scribbling, I will treasure routine-breaking any day! I will live for the moments when pajamas and ice cream sundaes and old movies win!

I linked to you on my site. Just wanted to let you know. If you prefer I took down the link, please let me know and I will, but I always like to give fellow bloggers a boost in hopes that some of them will do the same for me! Again, please let me know if you want me to remove the link.

I use my Treo for a day planner wich is linked to my Outlook calender...but I miss the colors and scribbles of a paper planner like yours. Plus it is hard to go back to see what happened in the past ie using it as a diary.
