Electronics a fickle and not to be trusted.</p> Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:49:14 -0500 LisaPT comment 755451 at http://diyplanner.com http://diyplanner.com/node/13645#comment-755450 <p>You can lose your "mind" whether you are using paper/pen or going electronic. </p> <p>I am currently using an electronic to do list, but backing up in "the cloud" and printing archives on weekends. So far, so good.</p> Sat, 19 Nov 2011 14:01:41 -0500 liz_n_cats comment 755450 at http://diyplanner.com http://diyplanner.com/node/13645#comment-755449 <p>All electronical devices are the same. There will always be glitches. Which is why I always use pen and paper, despite what those tech geeks say. At least I still got all the backups!</p> <p>You can go lite with just your smartphone but remember to set aside time (end of day or 1 day a week) to put all notes into paper. Even though I bounce from different types of planners I always have 1 main one at home to fill out for the year. I just sift througth the day's notes and only transfer the ones I need that sums up the day.</p> Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:39:07 -0500 Pugsy244 comment 755449 at http://diyplanner.com http://diyplanner.com/node/13645 <p>Sooooo... I got my first smart phone, a Droid 2. And then I found a really cool App for To Do lists. I took all my 3x5 cards with all 8-10 lists of various subjects and put them all on the smart phone with appropriate reminders.</p> <p>And it worked wonderfully. Until my phone had to have a "hard reset" because the keyboard was not functioning properly. All the Apps I had downloaded were eliminated from the phone. Oh they were out there on the web, and I could download and install them again at no additional cost. Buttttt, yep you guessed it...all the contents of the apps that I put into them, had disappeared.</p> <p>I lost all my lists. And tasks.</p> <p>So, now I am back to 3x5 cards. Even though my email has a task list app, and it saves it to my email site. I don't like it. So I don't use it.</p> <p>And I'm still trying to recover (mentally) all the lists I had, one, and two what was on them.</p> <p>*Sigh* Beware the technology....</p> http://diyplanner.com/node/13645#comments Going Analog Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:18:46 -0500 sfanderson 13645 at http://diyplanner.com
