When I’m supposed to be exercising, I’m taking a nap. When I’m supposed to be doing research, I’m scrolling through Twitter. But lots of times, when I’m supposed to be writing, I’m plunging down some rabbit hole of music on Spotify. If you just looked at my calendar, with all those work sessions dutifully blocked out, it would look like I’m fully on task every moment. Because I realized at some point that I need a record not just of what I’m supposed to be doing, but what I actually do. It turns out that for me, the day planner works great for everything except planning days. The day planner I bought has lots of spaces for to-do lists, pages in the back for sketching out long-term plans, a yearly calendar inside the cover where I keep track of the books I read and movies we see. I still kept my electronic calendar on my laptop and phone, but paper felt better for seeing the bigger picture. This year, for the first time in a long time, I bought a day planner. I toted it everywhere and put stickers on it and felt nice and solid and analog.
