How can i manage a hectic schedule I tried using a Palm Z22 and it didn't really help?

Question

I'm a fulltime student, work, and have MANY MANY commitments. I'm no longer joining anything new, or adding commitents but is there a good way to organize my day? I constantly write schedules down and make lists is there an easy system that works better?

Help! I need to manage my hectic lfestyle!! - thanks

Answer 1

My PDA works pretty well for me (finally!), as long as I keep it on its toes and put everything in. If you have a computer, synchronize it religiously and use the calendar software, to get a big-picture view of your schedule that you don't really get with the tiny window on the Palm. I also include my phone in the synchronization routine so that I always have access to my calendar, and I use reminder alarms when i think it might be necessary.

Whatever scheduling method you use, you have to feed it consistently, refer to it daily, and trust it to do its job. There is no magical product that will instantly make you productive without changing the mind set that is messing you up. You've already learned how to say no to stuff that doesn't fit your schedule, your next target is saying no to stuff that doesn't fit your true priorities.

Answer 2

I sympathize with you. I just bought the z22 as well to see if that will help. like the previous person said, you have to input the info and trust it to work. Keep it in your pocket or get the inexpensive pocket clip.  You are going in the right direction by saying no to future committments. They say it takes 21 days to make a habit, so keep at it.

good luck! :-)
