I’ve flip-flopped between PDA and PAA, using three different DayRunners and three different models of Palm Pilots. I do still try to use my Agendus software on my laptop, and still find myself neglecting things because the electronic medium is not so readily accessible, and I can’t be bothered to power up my laptop to access my lists and/or schedule, on occasion, to my detriment. And despite numerous attempts to utilize the Palm in every day jotting down of things in general, the device just doesn’t have enough room on the screen to display what I need displayed, or doesn’t lend itself to just being a quick note, but rather a process of turning it on, going to my memo application, open a new memo… by the time I start typing or entering via my stylus, I could have taken out a piece of paper and written down what I needed to.

After reading the many responses to the article, I think I will try going back to paper-pen for a while. I just find I go back to electronic form when I get sick of my inconsistent handwriting (neat at first, messy by the end), or its not utilized in an interactive way that gives me that zen-like feeling of being in control. So wish me luck… I hope to find a PAA system that works better than my attempts in the past…

This means that, since we Americans are such pigs, a mere scrap of paper can be found ANYWHERE, which is a blessing when, struggling with a million things to do today and nothing for the rest of my life is the current imperative. Which means that, apart from carrying around an electronic device for capturing one’s thoughts, etc., the truly essential item is a pencil and/or a pen. (I’ve found, incidentally, that doctor’s offices are splendid sources of pens-thanks to pharmaceutical reps-and staplers and postit notepads and clocks and….should you inadvertently leave home without so much as a writing implement.)
My choice, then, for the most versatile, all-around writing tool is that crazy space pen, by Fisher. Writes on anything, wet or dry, even on glass, for crying out loud and upside down.
Thank you, Anne,for hitting the right key.
Hm, speaking of keys, where did I leave my car keys….?

The sheets are just the backs of letter size paper, cut in half — recycled of course. The stack fits nicely alongside my keyboard on my too-crowded desk.

For long-term planning, I use index cards on a board or wall for long-range, and outliner software for task breakdowns. The outliners I’ve liked are Ecco Pro, Word, Frontier, and Omni Outliner.

For note taking, I use a cheap spiral-bound notebooks. Everything goes in there. For long-term notes, password lists, etc, I have a small stack of index cards, bound with a metal ring. They are printed with data from word processor files.
