Turn The Page
By lmhall | December 26, 2007
Sync It Up.
We’ll try to keep it light today. Detox is in order.
Old School: I’ve got the tools to put my life calender on my phone, yet I’m still scratching out a written code and will start the new year with a clean day planner. It rules my life.
I’ve actually conducted a survey of male and female professionals ages 40-60, and the males tend to use the gadget method of planning, while females tend to use both electronic organization for work and still carry a day planner, usually to coordinate “The Other Job”. (wife and mother)
The PLANNER is with me always, and has the potential to cause anxiety. Especially if you are a compulsive list maker, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Today, I turned the page and realized I haven’t looked at my planner in five days, even unplugged a bit and it was heaven! So today, we’ll lay down a few riffs and do something productive.
Maybe Look Ahead to THE FUTURE.
We’ve got plans.
It’s funny, I carry my planner on the undercover assignment and I catch staffers trying to sneak a peek. Same when I worked in the office, there were certain individuals that as soon as they hit the door, they invaded my space bubble and would aggressively start scanning my desk, even picking up papers to see what what’s in the works.
Finally, I learned to quickly turn the page when I’d hear them coming. Over time at the office, without looking up you can determine who’s coming down the hall by the jingle of the chains change, the creaking of the bones, the heavy shuffling. Heh. These were the same individuals that didn’t want a paper clip moved on their desks.
If you haven’t looked up at the moon this week, please do so. It’s huge!
