Do you use a paper or digital planner?

    I use my palm mostly. I also print out monthly calendars of my palm because as a student, I need to be able to add tally marks and cross off finished assignments. I need to be able to see them clearly.

    I use Things on iPhone & Mac for task tracking, BusyCal on Mac/iCal on iPhone for calendaring.

    But I also carry Field Notes for quick notes & diagrams, and a Moleskine for longer writing. I can still write faster than I can type on a iPhone, and it's a different experience than writing on the computer.

    iPod Touch. No hideous $150/mo phone bill. Has my calendar, contacts, apps which sync with Word, grocery list app, Evernote, e-books, Internet radio, stock ticker, who-borrowed-what list, periodical aggregation app, and other great tree-savers. Its small size reduces pressure on my arthritic hand, a blessing when reading, and I don't sneeze from dust, mildew, and allergenic inks while reading the news. When Dragon Dictation finally becomes Touch-compatible, I won't even have to type.

    I use my palm mostly. I also print out monthly calendars of my palm because as a student, I need to be able to add tally marks and cross off finished assignments. I need to be able to see them clearly. I can then add in other things as I go but on the palm only. Using only one sheet of paper per month is a good thing.

    What's planning?

    There should have been an option for digital & paper.
    I use outlook, google calendar and a diary to backup the digital & for all those ideas, things to do & remember.
    I tried going completely digital many years ago...my palm pilot died and it was a complete nightmare.
    More recently, my broadband failed and I was so glad I had my diary of important info.

    I just spent two full days, more like 3, getting up to speed on what's new in the digital planning/to do world. Bottom line for me, if I lost my daytimer (which I used to carry with me) or forgot it, it's a problem and that's only one issue. Writing things down is just too slow. I need my to dos fast and in the cloud, accessible everywhere.

    After my thorough research and trials (almost chose thymer.com-it's so pretty), I chose Vitalist. I can sort my tasks by: date, project, context, contact, priority and more at a single click, whatever my needs are at that moment. It's a powerful organizational tool and recurring dates makes it perfect for my needs. Google calendar is also part of my system. And, sending my emails to Vitalist to turn them into tasks keeps my inbox very light. Their iphone app works well too.

    I used 1) notebooks 2) iPhone and 3) Outlook.

    In my typical day; once I come up with an idea or remind myself of something nice to do; I would email me (via iPhone or Outlook) which will be become an actionable to do item which gets prioritized rather than time managed (the latter is a myth... one should never do everything... by choosy!). Both (To Do and Calendar) will remain in synch so I know what to work on....

    The analog part or the notebook comes in handy when I need to brainstorm and dream... What if? How do I? and other 6 w's... I used moleskines for this...

    Both. I have to use Outlook for work items, but they get written down in my paper planner too. I just prefer the feel and immediacy of paper. If I ever find a computer small enough to put in my purse, but more comfortable to use than an iPhone (and that supports handwritten tablet-style functionality), I'll switch to that, as the syncing would be easier. But until then, paper works fine.

    I use my cell phone as my calendar because 1.) I always have it with me, and 2.) I can set alarms for my appointments so that I am reminded of them in time. However, I still keep my moleskine with me (almost) all the time, and that is what I use to keep photos, work projects, important notes, crazy ideas...basically anything I need/want to keep for a while.
