Paper Planning

After years of favoring my HP Pocket PC & later my Dell Axim, I have now found that no matter how much I love buttons, styli & LCD screens, paper & pen keep prevailing!

Paper & pen has proven to be more secure then my electronic devices. I have lost tons of important notes due to battery drainage or system crashes.

Now that I've come to depend 98% on pen & paper, I now have to find a storage solution. Should I find a centralized location to store notebooks after I've filled them or purchase several Cambridge Archival Notebooks which are way cool.

Everything in One Package?

Today I picked up a Franklin Covey Leadership journal for $5. Its a great notebook book however it doesn't fit in my peach colored leather Franklin Covey cover that I used to carry my Her POV wirebound planner. It would be nice if the journals where the same size as the planners, but I will have to have them separate.

Several key pieces that I take to the office on a daily basis are my FC Her POV planner, a notebook & 4x6 lined stickie notes. I've found the stickie notes to be invaluable because they allow me to keep my notes centralized and I can order them any way I like... and re-order them if necessary, before transcribing them.
