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

My classes go into iCal,...Submitted by SansPoint on September 12, 2007 - 1:18pm.
My classes go into iCal, as does my work schedule. That way, I know what I have, time-wise, to do things like sleep, have fun, or do homework. This is synced with my iPod, which is always on me, so I can see things at a glance - especially handy the first week or so when I'm trying to remember what room each class is in. (Unless they change the room at the last minute, rendering the info on my iPod useless.) » POSTED IN:
