tired!

[kismet09]

Counting back the weekends, I have done the following: Went to NYC; went to Ocean City; went to NYC and helped someone move; babysat for a large, slobbery dog; had a choir concert. No wonder I'm a little worn out. I haven't had a weekend of just being lazy at home for 6 weeks! Not that I did a whole lot this weekend or last in terms of productivity or anything, but it was still 4 hours each way in the car, and lots of walking around and just doing stuff. I need some sitting still time, so that's what I'm taking this weekend before my sister arrives next Tuesday. Spinning and sitting and studying some Scrabble for a September tourney. I was going to go to Philly's one-day tourney this weekend, but really, I'm just *tired* (especially of being in the car). I'm also falling woefully behind on my work. Argh.

Also, is anyone else ridiculously picky about the formatting of their day planner (those of you who use one)? I've been getting Franklin Covey pages free through work for three years, and I'm using the two pages per day format, but I'm not very satisfied with them. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the perfect planning system -- what the pages of your planner would look like in a perfect world. I have, in the past, created my own pages on the computer and printed them out to use. I'll write more about that later.

ooh... multiple languages would be so fun! I will incorporate that into my ideal planner design.

Another ideal design feature

This will be impractical for smaller sizes, but I do like the free-form monthly calendar grids: a 7 x 5 array without dates where one fills in at the top the month, the year, and then marks in the corner of each box within the array the date. I have the semiweekly fill-in-your-own-date page grids.

In fact, maybe just adapting much of Stephanie Culp's 12-Month Organizer and Project Planner (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1558703608/103-1907442-1302251?v=glance) to a day planner format would make me giddy and ultra-satisfied.
