Using Google docs is sometimes helpful for big reminders, but you don’t have it when you’re out and about, which is when you most often need to remember what the next thing is on your list or when you have a great idea you’d like to write down.

I have bought a few moleskin’s in my day and really enjoy them, but they’re too expensive and don’t do anything a spiral $0.99 spiral notebook can’t do.

My advice? Go with a cheap notebook before spending money on a planner. If you can effective use that, then upgrade.

For the spending tons of money on one part, sometimes I do spend a bit of extra money on something to ensure I use it. I was thinking of getting a really nice planner-type of thing as a graduation present to myself. My phone is great and all, but making extra notes on paper just can’t be beat for me…. And I only imagine my life getting more complicated after entering the professional world. (Meetings, appointments, etc.)

Separating the finances, goals, personal stuff etc. is one of the coolest parts of The Pocketbook. Since I create it… I can organize it the way that works best for me. Currently I maintain different sections on my daily sheets and reserve one page each week and one page each month for the goal break down. If and when I find a weakness in the structure… I simply change it.
