Three and a half days more on my 2015 planner, but have already marked out important events in the new one.

Keeping an actual, physical planner is a form of self-discipline. It complements what I have on my mobile and my computer. My big planner stays on my writing desk. My smaller planner I take with me all the time.

Electronics are supplements, not replacements, of actual, physical, things. That is why nothing can ever take the place of a face-to-face conversation or deep reflection over a writing pad.

You take on the personality of your electronics, but non-electronics take on yours.
