Stella has a new brother...
...more on that later, I need to gather some pictures...he is a work in progress indeed!
While cleaning, I came across not one, but two, dayplanners, and thought about the empire of "organization" that Franklin Covey has now built.
Respectfully, I say F*** that.
I got through undergrad andgrad school with all A's, three jobs, and no late assignments without the use of a dayplanner, no daily list, no checkboxes, no prioritizing...I just did what needed to get done in a timely manner...good times.
But you know, i'll give anything a try, and it was suggested to me to try it at one point, and there are three things it did;
It made me really neurotic.
It wasted a ton of time with all the list making and checking and prioritizing and planning.
It made me bitter and resentful. Oh wait, I already was that..okay, it increased it,
It also made me realize that if people need to schedule and prioritize every second of every day, they're probably working too much. At least when I was in grad school, I didn't have a dayplanner so I didn't actually see a list of what I did everyday, or I would have realized I was working too much and started to freak out.
I've been much happier without a dayplanner.
