"I just use it like a notepad."

I see a lot of people around use this kind of 'planner'. Not for planning. For note-taking.

So, the other day when I happened to see a friend write something in one such thing, I asked him casually, "You use this for note-taking?!"

Not aware of my undertaking to launch Cockpit AIT Planner, he responded, "Yeah! Why (do you ask)?!"

"No, I thought this is a planning diary, that's why."

"Naaah! What to plan! The pages go waste. So why not use it."

Out of this little bit of conversation I can draw some inferences.

Genuinely, this friend is so well on top of everything naturally day after day that there's no need to 'plan'.

A kind of extension of the above-made inference could be that the plan's in his head. He doesn't find it necessary to plan in writing.

Third inference could be that while he does want to plan every day but is unable to do so with the 'planner' he has. This last inference isn't very difficult to fathom.

The Scoop Method

It's easy to scoop out the material things you hold in containers. How easy has it been to scoop out the important things that you need to do daily? How easy has it been to scoop out that response to an important person you met the other day? When was the last time you consciously connected with someone important - for work or without work? When was the last time you searched for details of that little important curiosity ringing in your head? Why not scoop out the important tasks without a lot of sweat and get going, every single day?
