Alphabetize and conquer

Geralin Thomas, a professional organizer based in Cary, North Carolina, emailed us last week to share her system for using the Minister to stay on top of her schedule. She suggests:

1. In the unlined columns on the right-hand side, delete the category “write” and instead add, “buy” and “dinner.”

2. Alphabetize the list:

A: Action
B: Buy
C: Call
D: Dinner (as in what is for dinner every day this week)
E: E-mail
F: Future (stuff you need to do, later)

“This is how I customize each box within the Minister’s weekly layout for myself,” says Geralin. “I share this alpha list with clients and they love it!”

Perhaps the college professor we blogged about last week could develop a similar system to keep track of his expenses?
