My organization system for the latter half of 2014 looked like this:
White Poppin notebook– kept on my desk at all times; used to keep weekly to-do lists organized into sections (one for each class, one for blog/writing, and one for miscellaneous stuff)
Large black hardcover ruled Moleskine– travels around with me; used for journaling about feelings + sometimes brainstorming ideas or making gratitude lists or whatever
Calendar app on iPhone/iPad/Macbook– used to keep track of all dates, appointments and deadlines
Printed laminated chart of all class work laid out week-by-week– posted on the bulletin board over my desk
Cheapo lined steno notebook– used to take all class notes; occasionally I would use TinyScan or Evernote to digitize pages from it
For next year, I’m thinking about changes I can make to optimize this. I’m going to keep my journal, steno book, and wall chart going, since those are tools that work great for my purposes, but I’m going to rotate in these two:
Pocket black softcover weekly Moleskine planner– used for keeping track of dates; the blank pages in between each week spread will be used for my weekly to-do list
Large purple hardcover daily Moleskine planner– a daily list of things I need/want to accomplish only that day; extra room can be used for gratitude lists and/or gluing in paraphernalia from any given day (ticket stubs, notes from friends, important receipts, whatever)
siiiigh I love having stuff organized neatly
