It’s just that my “to do list” is a series of sticky notes and index cards that live in my Sunday Basket. It’s not entirely true-I have a collection of tasks I need to check off and things I need to accomplish, just like everyone else. In fact, I don’t have a to do list at all. This isn’t how I manage to be an extremely productive person.

It lets me share all of my appointments with my family, who each have their own Google Calendar as well. I’ll get into my paper planner in a minute, but for my date book, I exclusively use a Google Calendar (which I detail for you in my Email Organization Course ). Not one of you (not one!) uses a digital calendar exclusively. Last week, I asked you all on Facebook whether you kept your appointments and dates in a paper planner or on a digital calendar.

You need to be here at this time, then here, then make sure you make it to this meeting while your kids get to this place after school? When we use our planner as our datebook, we may have an idea of the times of our appointments and commitments, but we don’t align our weekly focus with the goals we actually want to accomplish in our lives.
