A habit planner really appeals to me--thank you!
My system is very simple. I do only 10 things a day. No more, no less. This started when I was a harassed single mom and would find myself in tears because the floor was dirty at 11 pm. I started it to LIMIT what I did--mop floor went on next day's list.
Some items are fixed--exercise, one-line journal, e-mail, and in season--gardening. Then there is social life, domestic chores, a few medical things, a few professional activities...and now that I'm basically retired, today I'll see a few empty slots to fill as I like, which is my favorite. I've been teased about this a lot! I have some friends who manage three things a day and some who claim 25! Really I just like that I have a system, if that makes sense. Always love to know how others structure their time.

I put everything on my calendar on my iPad and it automatically goes on my iPhone. So, I always know what I need to do daily and when I am available.
