Thanks, Laura & Tom!
Steph, I used to do that with my daily planner (and Disney princess stickers, 'cuz that's how I roll). But I got out of the habit of using a planner and, with one thing and another, the habit of more regular exercise. Maybe it's time to start back up; I still have plenty of stickers (foil stars, smiley faces, princesses AND Avengers!)
I miss my Franklin Covey planner.
Epic, I used to give myself gold stars on my old calendar when I finished a task! It's oddly satisfying and motivating.
Confession: I still use my desktop planner, bastard off-brand binder, Daytimer monthly tabs and page marker, and Dayrunner calendar pages, with the inspiration pages I make and add in at random.
Writing it down makes it real.
That's part of why I've moved to a paper planner on my desk, and a paper mini calendar in my purse. If I don't write it down, I won't remember to do it.
Paper and pen is the only way I can remember anything. I buy a planner every year, plus a wall calendar, and I have lists all over the house.
I love pen and paper, but the convenience of having it all in this little machine that fits into my pocket (when my outfit has pockets). I often plan or write things out on paper, then transfer them into the phone/tablet/computer.

This is me. I write stuff down on paper and then put everything into Google. (And then I print out a weekly calendar to stick on the fridge so it all comes full circle.)
If it isn't on my phone/computer it doesn't exist. In the unlikely event that I write something down I often end up staring at it and wondering what it meant.
I keep trying to transfer to an electronic system, but I can't. I am not very organized on paper either, but somehow writing it down at least makes it stick in my head. Also computer reminders make me not want to do whatever!
