Basically, if a thing doesn’t exist in my #planner then it doesn’t exist in my brain. I have no idea why I’m wired this way but I can’t get electronic calendars to work for me - I need the visual spread of events.
Scheduling time for creative work means I prioritize that creative work instead of getting sidetracked, which is great. But seeing it laid out on paper also gives me a tangible record of things I am DOING to flip through when I feel like a loser who never gets anything done.
