"Recently I switched from using a Palm to using a paper planner. It was a
difficult move, but one that I don’t regret. The ironic thing about it is that I
was the queen Palm user. I would sing it’s praises any chance I could. I even
converted several coworkers to the Palm platform. I loved it. I had a
portable keyboard (that I spent a hundred bucks on), and had installed Docs to
Go and would type notes from meetings into the portable Word program, and then
sync it up with my computer. I thought I was being all organized.
Then my keyboard stopped working. Some of the keys on the right wouldn’t work
when I punched them. I would press as hard as I could to no avail. I mean, the
backspace key wouldn’t even work! It became very distracting for me in meetings
because I would be more concerned about my system falling apart then what was
being talked about at the meeting.
Another big problem was my inablilty to stay organized and focused. No matter
how much I posted in my to-do list I could not seem to take the time to turn on
my palm and check it. It also became a hassle putting in appointments and most
of the time I would accidently enter the wrong day or time."
