Static Landscape
Jamie Phelps | Sep 11 2007
Pinging the 43Folders collective consciousness for how you handle your static landscape, what we might call your scaffold. This is the part of your schedule that almost never changes. I'm a student. My schedule changes about three times per year. At the beginning of a semester, my life is basically brand new while I adjust to new class schedules and new work schedules to work around the classes. I have this all in iCal as repeating events and such. In the past I had contemplated keeping a paper calendar, but the idea of entering all of that scaffolding in by hand was just more than I could bear. So, I would be interested to know how you all handle your scaffold. I don't think anyone is putting work from 8-5 on a repeating event. Seeing your life lain out like that might get kind of depressing anyway. Is it the anomalies that go onto your calendar? Specific meetings and such? Ready? Go! 6 Comments

When I was in school,...Submitted by Stew on September 12, 2007 - 1:18pm.
When I was in school, I'd keep a copy of my class schedule in my notebook, and after about 2 weeks I'd have it memorized. Lately, I've found that my repeating events are minimal. Lately, I've kept a paper calendar, constructed of Outlook printouts. The scaffold goes into Outlook, but that's the only thing I use it for. My other events are written in by hand on the printout. » POSTED IN:
