She would devotedly and (at least in my chaotic appraisal) obsessively record every appointment and event in her planner, even going so far as to make comments on past entries so she could reconstruct her week at a later point.

I took a time management course years ago that gave me a planner binder (I don’t think it was Franklin, though). I kept my appointments in it for a year or two, but eventually gave up when I got Lotus Planner (or whatever it was called).

However, making notes about past appointments to reconstruct your week can be vital, especially if you’re somebody who has to account for your time (contractors, lawyers, etc.).

Of course, I now use Outlook and Windows Mobile, but really, it is often quicker to write something down in a binder than to enter it in my PDA.
