I was always a big day-planner person.  Being a big believer in the Franklin-Covey "ABC/123" system, I planned out my tasks for the day in that format.  When the company introduced software to do their style of personal management, I jumped on it. Then came smartphones. Unfortunately, Franklin-Covey has not brought their system to Android just yet, so I use a combination of RememberTheMilk.com and the Astrid app for Android:

But what about paper? The handwritten word is very important to me. I still use my day-planner bible, but now for more personal writing and reflection:

That's good for coffee shops and such, but I still like to have paper upon which to put pen at a moment's notice. To that end, I've gone back to a time-honored method: the moleskeine!

I've got two moleskeines. The black book (open) is my "travel" book. I originally bought the red one to take notes for my latest book, and now it's my "in-town" moleskeine.

The handwritten note and thought is very, very important. Don't lose sight of it in our iPhone world.
