A planner is vastly different than a calendar. A calendar keeps track of appointments and scheduling but a planner focuses on prioritization and short- and long-term planning!
The Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) has become a common tool in school and business and many people use their phone to store their calendar and appointments. While the Treo phone has a very basic calendar --I went back to the low-tech paper version of Franklin Covey Planners -- the Weekly pocket format.
The planner inspires vision and goals which leads to thinking about the Important but Not Urgent tasks such as studying for next week's exam, filing your taxes or scheduling an annual checkup. In addition to feeling more inspired and organized, perusing your paper planner is more socially correct than glancing at your phone. A zipperable planner protects your plans from the elements (like a water bottle!) and offers a place to store a pen or pencil. Zippered Planner Binders
Franklin Covey offers Plan Plus Online which can be reached from any web browser -- planning on paper or on-line can raise productivity and motivation to stay focused and reach goals.
