2 Most Important Elements in Using an Electronic Organizer
Folded up lists and yellow sticky-notes go the way of the dinosaur when an electronic organizer is utilized. The key to using an electronic organizer is that ALL of the information that you need to have on-hand and accessible is in a single place. Let’s face it, even when we bother to make a written list of tasks, daily priorities, or activities, these are often left in cars, pockets, and misplaced in a multitude of other places never to be found again. Why bother when personal organizer software is now so readily available and easy to use?
But even with the most feature-rich of software, what matters most is how you use it. Everybody’s system is going to be specific to them- almost like a fingerprint.
What and how you remember things and keep organized is very personal, so understanding exactly what your own system is, and then following that system is the most important thing. For instance, when you have a new to-do, it goes here. When there is a new appointment it goes here, a new phone number here, an idea here, and a new account or password here.
Once your electronic organizer system is in place, think to yourself, “What would happen if I lost my organizer?” Pretty sad thought, huh? Well, hopefully you would be able to access your data back-up, which is the second most important thing to having a system. Printing out your information is very poor form of backing up, but better than nothing. It would mean re-entering all of your information into a new personal organizer, which is also a distressing thought. Any good electronic organizer software nowadays has a method of backing up the data. This may mean needing to purchase a new device of the same model in order to reload your data, but some form of backup absolutely needs to done. When possible, backup to a CSV (comma separated value) file. These can be opened in spreadsheet software (like Microsoft Excel), manipulated, and often uploaded to another organizer software.
