Ever wonder how some people tend to get so much work done and remember their obligations so easily? Do you feel that you are unorganized and leads keep falling through the cracks? Are you forgetting to send emails out to contacts and need a simple and easy way to increase your productivity?
Well ever since I started using these two simple tools, my life has become a lot more organized and productive. The tools I am speaking of anyone can pick up at a local CVS or Walgreens: A Calendar & a Note Pad.
This may sound basic to many of you, but recently I was speaking with a few friends of mine who do not have to-do lists and do not use calendars. Knowing them personally, I see them complain about being unorganized and missing certain obligations that they said they would attend. They constantly ask me how I continue to produce and do so much in a day that they say they would be able to do in a week. Part of that is my shere motivation to produce to get to where I want to be in life quicker, but a huge part is organizing my thoughts in To Do Lists and placing my memory on autopilot with a Calendar.
I complete my To-Do lists at night for the next day ahead, so that I know what I need to do and I can think about how my day will go ahead of time, and even in my dreams (while sleeping). When I wake up, I am ready to tackle what I had planned, and I wake up with extra juice in my step. These To Do lists organize my activities on a daily / weekly / monthly basis.
My Calendar however I use for important appointments or phone calls that I MUST make. There is no skipping out on things that I place in my calendar, and I hold them sacred. Only during emergencies would I ever skip out on an appointment. I review my Calendar almost daily, especially when I have a busy week planned.
So hopefully those people out there who have not yet discovered these two simple ways to organize yourself will go to CVS / Walgreens tonight and bring your game to the next level.

Very elementry and very effective! I hate being late, not returning a call and I really hate going to the store and standing there trying to figure out why I'm there! Bill
