3 Different Ways To Organize Your Time and Tasks

Time and task management can be a big drag, especially if your time management tool (read: planner) isn't any fun.  Sure, there are great products out there which are homogenous and very linear, but what if you want something a little outside the box?  I did a little looking, and found a few fun items I think you are going to like.  Take a look - you might just be inspired!

Java Weekly Planner
This  is a fun planner called "Java".  It's very open and has some great coffee-type colors.  There are places for notes and a sort of bubble for each day of the week.  Grab your coffee cup, your favorite pen, and get moving!  

The Bubble Planner
I came across this planner, and I love how different it is!  Many recommended planners and PDAs are one way to organize your time and thoughts, but for some (including yours truly), there is nothing like putting pen to paper.  For the more visual and kinetic people, bubble maps (or mind mapping) can work well.  If you are that kind of person, this is a planner to check out.

3 Way Pad
Knock Knock has some of the most fun products these days.  They are out there, edgy and very different!  This "3 Way Pad To Do" is a great way to get your tasks down on paper and in front of you.  There are three pads: Tasks, Errands, and Contact.  

Whatever "tool" you use to manage your time or tasks, make it something you genuinely like to use.  If you don't like your run-of-the-mill planner with refillable pages, get creative.  Even taking a "vanilla" planner and kicking it up with some fun personalization may be the key to making time management work for you.  Keep your personality in mind, and let your imagination run wild.  Remember, organization is a tool so find the one that fits your needs.
