<p>i'm going to take a butt load of courses in the fall, along w/ a part time job, so i'm browsing for PDAs. paper just doesn't work too well for me. any suggestions on what I should get?</p>
<p>I use post-it notes stuck to my bed. Every time I get a new thing I have to do I write it on a post it note and stick it in the right place (according to date.)</p>
<p>I would keep things in my head for the most part. It worked perfect for me, but obviously this is not the best option for everyone. I would suggest getting a calendar to hang on your wall and writing dates/deadlines in on it. This way, it's somewhere easily visible. I can't help with PDAs, though, sorry.</p>
<p>oooh post its are a lot cheaper than a PDA! haha</p>
<p>yeah, i'm already doing the calendar thing. it only works for events. not so much homework assignments.</p>
<p>If you have a cell phone it's calender program might have all the PDA stuff you need. Sticking post-it notes on a cell phone could get complicated though.</p>
<p>I don't really think it's that difficult to manage school and work. I keep a basic planner for school assignments and occasional events. Additionally, I have a calendar right above my desk that I mark up in advance. Aside from that though, I don't do much.</p>
<p>im going to use my celly!!</p>
<p>i use the ical application on my macbook. it has a calendar and to do list and is easy to update, etc.</p>
<p>I use a couple of methods.</p>
<p>I use a regular student planner for the most part. It's helpful for writing in daily assignments, work hours, appts., things to do, and keeping it updated. I also like it because it's portable and I can take it in my purse, so if something comes up, I can just pencil it in.</p>
<p>In my dorm room, I have a dry erase calendar. I write down long-term assignments, appts., and other time-consuming things there (not really day-to-day assignments), which helps me plan ahead. Seeing major assignments laid out over the course of a month is a lot more beneficial than just thinking about what's due tomorrow.</p>
<p>I also have rainlendar on my laptop (<a href="http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php)%5B/url%5D">http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php)</a>.</p>
<p>I've considered getting a PDA, but they're expensive and I feel like I'd be too lazy to input information. I find it to be a lot less time consuming to just write it down.</p>
<p>i use an old-fashioned agenda book like it's my job.
i don't usually refer back to it much, except for maybe page numbers or whatever, but writing things down helps me to remember them.</p>
<p>oooh thanks for the rainlender info. i was looking for something like that.</p>
<p>Rainlender works, I also recommend 30 Boxes (<a href="http://30boxes.com/%5B/url%5D">http://30boxes.com/</a>) or Grade Fix (<a href="http://www.gradefix.com/)%5B/url%5D">http://www.gradefix.com/)</a>.</p>
<p>I always buy a planner thing at the beginning of the year, but i just end up using my head.</p>
<p>I always program important test and paper dates into my computer so that I receive e-mail reminders to my inbox. This is because I am afraid I will forget a date, but I haven't ever done so. </p>
<p>So, essentially, I run on memory, the human kind. My PDA is unopened in a box. Maybe I'll sell it on e-bay this week.</p>
<p>Mozilla Sunbird is a good calendar program that I found recently.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I use Rainlendar, too. :)</p>
<p>I also have a planner for homework assignments.</p>
<p>Just remember when the assignments are due.</p>
<p>a nice legal pad</p>
<p>for school-related things, i use schoolhouse for mac. keeps track of your classes/grades/etc.</p>
<p>i have a palm treo, but I never use it. somehow i manage to keep everything organized in my head.</p>
