The best planner, calendar or to do list is the one you will actually use. It doesn’t matter if it’s paper or electronic. What’s important is that you remember to update it regularly and look at it often enough that it reminds you to do things before they’re due.

I’ve been using a paper planner for the past couple of years and it works really well for me. As much as I love the idea of getting away from paper, no electronic system has worked this well. For me, the two key elements are seeing a whole week at a time and keeping the planner right next to my computer so I look at it frequently.

What have you found most effective to keep track of appointments and tasks?

    I’ve always been a paper diary kinda guy, all has gone out the window over the last few weeks

    As soon as I’ve finished a session (now all online) I’m jumped on by the little one 🙂

    Gonna try out diary on the wall so my partner can see therefore expectations of time with the kids will be more easily shared
