<p>Can anyone please tell me which time management system is used by each academy? Dayrunner type, Blackberry type, Outlook or what works best for each midshipman/cadet? Thanks</p>
<p>I doubt the mids or cadets have much time to contemplate their schedules. I think it's mostly a lot of running between classes and everywhere else humping a big pack full of books and a laptop while saluting all of the officers on the way.</p>
<p>I'm only partially kidding.....</p>
<p>Some of us right assignments down in an agenda. Some right assignments on our hand. That's about the extent of it.</p>
<p>It may be hard for current mids/candidates to believe, but there once was a day where there were no Blackberries, PDAs, computers, etc. We had equally busy schedules and we somehow managed to make everything on time. :)</p>
<p>Seriously, maybe today folks use technical assistance. But if it's not issued to you and/or you can't afford to purchase it, you'll do just fine with pen & paper. Your class schedule, sports activities, and study time rule your days and it's not that you have that much free time!</p>
<p>Being a 1980 graduate I believe back then "fear" was the key to most of our time management systems. Be where you are suppose to be "or else".</p>
<p>So I asked son-
"son, where is your watch?"
son says, "It's too heavy."
"don't you need it?"
"No."
"How can you survive on the yard without a watch?"
"we have bells."</p>
