I know you’re all wondering how I’m making out with my organizer situation<\/a> these days. And I think we have a winner! <\/p>\n

No, it’s not an iphone.* Nor is it the old school at-a-glance day planner. It is…<\/p>\n

* Purchase of said shiny gadget has not been completely ruled out, esp. after I was told (by my iphone enabler) that it’s only $20\/mo. more on our cellphone contract to have one. Not that $240\/yr is nothing<\/i>, but it’s less than it could be (master of the obvious, c’est moi!). But nothing will happen on that front until after the new toys are introduced at MacWorld (because the old toys will be cheaper then, right?).<\/p>\n

…index cards. Held together with a binder clip.<\/p>\n

No lie! I have one card per week, M-W on one side and Th-Su on the other. Those are at the front of the pack. Appointments\/tasks\/painfully early soccer games (more on that soon) are noted under each day. Then I have one card each for lists: phone numbers, house tasks, me tasks, short term work tasks and long term work tasks. Those are at the back of the pack. When the week is over I draw a line through the old card and stick it in the middle of the pack. Right now I’ve only got cards through May 18, so the pack isn’t too unwieldy.<\/p>\n

Jonathan says that this setup has a name: apparently it’s called the hipster pda<\/a>. I cannot possibly call it that, though, because the whole “-ster” trend makes me nauseous. And why does it need a name, anyway?<\/p>\n

OTOH, those #$%&ster folks did come up with some cool templates. J printed one with a 2008 calendar on it that’s very useful. So they’re not all<\/i> bad.<\/p>\n

P.S. I have a big crush on these shoes<\/a>. Frivolous, yes; pricey, hell yeah. But useful for dressy bessy days at work, I think. Comments?<\/p>\n

P.P.S. And you have to love the hilarious Zappos marketing-speak: “Never lose your preference for a youthful silhouette…” Oh heavens, I hope I never do!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
