Dates Galore

No, I'm not talking about the dinner-and-a-movie kind, sadly.

Between the academic deadlines (individual assignments, team assignments, team presentations, quizzes, midterms, finals), the Office of Career Development's (OCD) deadlines (resume reviews, interview workshops, career counselling), and the dates and deadlines for various clubs and activities, I am already running around like a chicken with its head cut off. And it's only been a week! Of course, I should've signed up for the time management workshop offered during preterm, but um, hehe, I was late in signing up for it. So, now, I really have to figure out a better system than Google calendar to manage my schedule. Maybe I need to suck it up and get a Treo or a Q. Even so, I somehow don't feel comfortable with the way things are setup on a regular calendar. I think I need to come up with some sort of custom spreadsheet.

In other news, we have a business plan competition coming up... er... sometime in the next two years, for which I have teamed up with a few people. We have a pretty solid idea, but a lot of research needs to be done to see if it's feasible. The prize is seed money, so if we can win, atleast I wouldn't have to go through the whole recruiting process, and that would be schweeeet!

A treo or any PDA is kinda useful, but its better you get a good cell phone with a calendar and tasks which integrate with Microsoft Outlook. I use a Nokia 6110 or something, the only problem being that my laptop doesnt have integrated bluetooth so i have to manually plug in the bluetooth dongle, which means I dont synch my phone as often as I would like to.

Good luck for the business plan..

You should look into the "Getting Things Done" philosophy. I like it a lot.
