Tickler or Calendar
juman | Oct 13 2006
I am slowly building my way up to a blackbelt but one thing I haven't really got going for me is if I should use the ticklerfile or the calendar for some things. Booking a meeting is of course something for the calendar but going through some papers the day before the meeting where should they go? I have to go through them before the meeting but not exactely the day before but it is nice to have a full day to make sure I get the time to go through them. This is one case and whatever it is I am thinking about putting into the tickler I find myself putting more and more as events into a calendar which give me an easier overview. So when doing a weekly plan if I see that my Tuesday is getting to much work in it I can easier see what I have to review that day and see if I can move them. Any ideas and thoughts about this? What do you put in your tickler or what goes into your calender as an event to do on a specific day? 18 Comments

 Although I own a tickler...Submitted by Rainer on November 25, 2006 - 3:41am.
Although I own a tickler file (two accordion files) for about 20 years now, I never could turn the use of it into a consistent habit. Too often I had to spend too much time searching through that tickler file. Made a table of contents of the tickler file several times, but gave up on it. This year I have been using the tickler file for a few months again and decided to give it up. Right now I'm using a paper notebook as a diary (separated from my calendar) to keep track of the papers that would go into the tickler file. And the papers I keep with my project files.
