"I’ve used every project management tool imaginable, but it wasn’t until my wife gave me a monthly planning calendar white board for Christmas that I’ve really been able to focus and be more effective and disciplined. It has been a before and after.

There's nothing like writing, erasing, or editing something by hand.

The calendar has two parts: one for monthly planning and the other for weekly planning. I taped them on the wall, just above my computer.

This has allowed me to clearly see what tasks I need to focus on today, what I have tomorrow, what I have to do, without having to open a Google Calendar tab or open Asana.

I love technology and I'm a geek for new tools, but sometimes all it takes is organization in the 'offline world.'"
