November 16, 2011

If it is not in my planner, it is not happening.  It's a terrible personality flaw to have, but it is what it is.  For as long as I can remember, I've maintained at least two calendars at a time, but anywhere up to four or five.  At the moment, I have three calendars:  one on my iPhone, which is synced with iCal, and then my Moleskin planner for the day-to-day tasks.  My iPhone and iCal calendars keep track of work and Journal deadlines and upcoming projects.  Unfortunately, my reliance on three separate calendars also means I trust they include everything I have on my agenda at any given moment throughout the day.  Thus, I was surprised to receive a text message letting me know I was expected at the Journal office negative two hours ago as I was doing my hair and watching Dr. Phil this afternoon.  For someone who is a stickler for deadlines and being on time, these moments when my litany of calendars fails to keep me apprised of my responsibilities are especially embarrassing.
