So I know I talk about how much I love my Malden, how much I
love pen & paper, but I am also very much an electronic gadget junkie. I
love my toys!! J
But it’s times like these when I am thankful for my fILOFAX. What am I talking
about? This…
#1 – My laptop got infected with some stupid virus earlier
this year. I had the virus removed but it caused so much damage I have to scan
and defrag my computer before I can even use it….every time! And sometimes that
can take more than an hour. Who has time to wait?!?! Defragging my Malden? That
equates to re-arranging my sections and archiving old pages. Done!
#2 – Something is wrong with my tablet….it won’t charge! I’ve
had it more than 2 years and I didn’t get the extra warranty coverage (shame,
shame). It doesn’t have a replaceable battery so I’m screwed there. Charging my
Malden? Nah, just unpop the popper and she’s ready and waiting for me!
#3 – My laptop and tablet are almost useless without
internet…..no wifi necessary for my Malden!! I can play games, look at pics,
get in touch with my friends, manage my home and plan my life….no internet
needed!
Even with all my complaints about my electronic goodies, I
would be lost without those too! My latest issues have me wanting for something
new….like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Have you seen those? They’re so cool! And
a new smart phone too. I want the Samsung Galaxy 4-Active. My birthday is coming
up pretty soon so I keep dropping hints here and there (wink, wink). Hehehe, I just
felt the need to rant about my electronic stuff before this laptop dies or
freezes on my again! Overall I still prefer my Malden for my life planning and
my gadgets for alarms, gaming, email, school, and Facebook.
Do you have a planning preference? Would love to hear about
them!!
Stay Fab! (<3 font="">
I'm a dedicated paper and pen (or pencil in the case of my diary) man, for all the reasons you mention above. I genuinely believe that paper-based systems (I use a Vintage Peronal Hampstead Filofax) provide a more efficient, more tactile, quicker to access system than any gadget I've yet found. I should add that mike most people I keep my contacts on my smartphone (BlackBerry Q10 from next week, woo!)but otherwise I don't depend on gadgets to keep my info, and my experience is that they don't provide a good medium for pro-active planning either.
