Orema are you very disciplined in using them and if you miss a day or two, or segments is it hard to pick it up again ? I doubt I`ve asked that question very clearly, you can tell I`m new to planners ! I`m not sure I can trust myself with being fastidious with one and then wonder if I`ll be guilt tripping myself if its a purchase that sits about unused ! But as I age I`m more forgetful and seem to have a long and often random of things I`m meaning to do and never get around to, I think a planner could be the answer.

Hi Daisy (waving at my monitor)! No, don't use it daily. My Productivity Planner is not dated and I use it to keep track of projects—so I don't always use it daily. Yes, I find it easy to pick up after putting it down for a couple days. The one I use for meetings is dated and helps me keep track of what happens in the meetings (commitments made, etc).

I'd think about getting an inexpensive one to see if it's something you'd like (some Bloom planners are less than $10 at amazon)

Also, if you have a phone, you may have a "reminder" app that can help you keep track of appointments and to-do lists.

You might find one useful.
