I love it when I find a system that works for me! I have found a perfect system for organizing my life. It includes a little calendar and a little notebook. I am a list and note person. If I do not write it down, I probably will forget it. I use to write my lists on little scratch papers, but too many times I would misplace those little scratch papers or throw them away when I still needed them. Now I just have an ongoing list! I put all my lists - things I need to remember, things I need to buy, things I need to do, etc. in my little notebook. I can always refer back to those lists if I need to. But if not, fine, I just turn the page and continue filling up my little fat notebook. And lists are not all I need. I need to know when I need to do those things! I need a little calendar and my 2 year planner is perfect to record my schedule, but still fit in my purse and go everywhere I go. My planner also has a place to keep phone numbers and addresses in the back. Perfect for travel or just quick access. I love it!

It makes me smile to realize that my friends have noticed this system I use. I pull out my calendar and notebook when I schedule things with them and they've noticed my organizing habits. They tease me a little, but hey this system works! My life is in these two books!

I think I'll try your system!

Good ideas! I have the schedule book but not the notebook. (I still use single-paged lists.) I will have to try your notebook method. It sounds smart!
