How do you use a planner?

I didn’t order a Franklin Planner refill this year, mostly because my planner has been annoying me for a while. It’s big and heavy enough to be used as a weapon or possibly a small meditation cushion. I don’t use most of it on a regular basis (the emergency info, the address book). And, yesterday, God help me, I left the house without it and nothing bad happened. The phone numbers I wanted were in my cell phone and the note taking I did in my journal.

So I’ve been reading about the Hipster PDA and am thinking of making one of my own. Because I’m a hipster. Ha.

Basically a Hipster PDA is a bunch of index cards and a binder clip. Period.

Read more about lightening your load and why Zen monk’s robes don’t have pockets (not exactly true, but a good point).
