So, a couple of things.

The youtube spiral continues apace, although I've backed off of adding things to the youtube lists, unless I find something really great.

I do think I will revive my pinboard so I can add bujo links to it, though. The information on threading cannot be lost to the world. And, if I ever run across information on a chronodex such that I can understand why anyone would want to use it, I'll add that too. (Both the YouTube links and the blog posts I've seen on it so far seem to indicate that anyone interested in this is someone who processes information visually intuitively or preferentially, such that they would immediately understand why a chronodex or chronospiral is nifty, gorgeous, and useful. But I may understand one day! It only took me about 10 years to "get" comics.)

I came across a term today which I think may change my view/relationship to the planner community (as a hobby and lifestyle choice): functional. There's apparently a divide between the people who use a planner to, well, literally plan, and the people who use a planner for artistic expression and journal/archival/scrapbook impulses, on top of planning. The functional people are very close to my people, except they still foolishly keep a paper calendar. But I get them in a way I don't get the artistic people as much. So, more focused YouTubing to come.

Last but not least. I had three meetings on Thursday (my old boss, who is semi-retiring, loves meetings, and took the occasion of his transition to create an orgy of them) and I wrote the notes from them down on a yellow pad of lined letter paper. And, looking back on this, I find myself dissatisfied. I am the sort of person who, if I'm attending a meeting because I actually expect to know or have to do things because of the meeting, prefers to take paper notes, because the chances of my faffing off to read Twitter are much reduced.

I also have become disatisfied with the notebook I've been using for daily to dos, It's a planning notebook with Reference Calendars, with the reference calendars at the bottom. of every. marina-flecked. page. It's making me nutty, because it wastes so much space. Nobody needs a daily reference calendar. I have a wall calendar in my office. My computer has a calendar. My job uses google apps for work, and so I use google calendar for work. I have a phone and a tablet also equipped with Business Calendar.

So, I'm thinking of buying a new notebook, setting it up with a proper index, and keeping all of my work meeting notes in it, and indexing them. I think I will be a happier person if I do that. And I have my eye on a specific notebook: ( large image cut to save your reading page ). Also, I must then confront the question of stickers, stamp, or hand numbering.
