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

I'm also a student so my timetable changes every 6 months. Google Calendar contains all my assignment deadlines for the semester and classes go in as repeating events. The back of my PDA also has all my deadlines so I can know at a glance if I should panic yet. This is the first semester I've bothered to use a system (only recently discovered GTD and the hipster PDA). I don't feel like I'm making any great effort but my classmates are constantly amazed (and annoyed) at how I can stay on top of everything. » POSTED IN:
