Good read, and I can definitely see the many benefits of maintaining a planner and logging things. But it has always felt like such a chore.
I would spend all this time getting organised -- and then get nothing done! I don't know whether it's because I lack the discipline to keep up with it, or if it's because I've been using the wrong system.
Anyway, you've inspired me to give it another shot! I'll try something different this time. Maybe a planner that's more focused around writing, instead of THE PLANNER for my whole life.
