time management

I recently bought a planner, and I will use it to its full extent. 

I bought a planner...last year. I intend to use it, maybe, for the duration of this month, and maybe the one after it too.

I actually bought the planner hoping to get through fall semester last year, but who knew that people start shopping for 2015 planners in November 2014? I ended up buying a 2015 planner, driving home excitedly with visions of corporate attire and perfectly groomed hair, coming home and realizing that the dates were all wrong, and then exasperatedly making plans to stop by the store and return the planner the next morning.

I still have the receipt. The plan never happened. Also its been more than 30 days since the purchase so I couldn't return it now even if I tried to.

Starting today, I will actively practice the art of micro-planning. Micro planning, according to my own theory, is the art of writing down every test date, lecture, seminar, club meeting, and coffee date in your immediate future. These events must be written down in fancy notebooks with pretty multicolored pens. Bonus points if you add Post-It notes and highlight events of high importance.

Extra bonus points if you repeat the monotonous act and type every event into your cellular device too, so that you are greeted every morning, not by the chirping of the birds outside, but the sweet sound of Siri's voice telling you to go to lunch with Jack at 2:00.

bye jack, I can't talk now I have other plans no time nope
