I used to carry one of those bulky paper organizers around with me. My combination of right brain and adult attention deficit disorder made me throw it away in favor of an electronic organizer.
It takes up one eighth the space, one fifth the weight, and it does something no paper can ever do... it beeps to remind me! Now, if they can just make one that makes it possible to have it with you at all times (except in the shower, or...). I know about the Timex wristwatch PDA. But it requires download from a PC, and I don't carry one of those around with me. I need a way of entering data wherever I happen to be at the time, and I need it within earshot, without carrying a bulky thing in my pocket, or having to have my fanny pack along wherever I go. I wish someone would make a credit-card sized organizer with a membrane keyboard, that can be worn on the wrist, and beeps. It could be my alarm watch, too.
