Paper planners work best if you
are a visual/tactile person. You fit this category if:
- Your thinking flows easiest when writing
things down, pen to paper.
- Physically writing things out helps you
remember them better.
- You tend to remember where on a page you
wrote something. ("The phone number is green ink in the upper right-hand
corner of the page.")
Benefits to a paper planner
- It's faster to enter information than
turning on an electronic planner. Just open to the page and jot down
your notes.
- Most brands are less expensive than an
electronic planner.
- You can keep old pages as a record of
previous years.
- No electricity or batteries
required.

If you are a linear/digital
person, you would probably do very well with an electronic planner. Clues
that you are a linear/digital person are:
- Your thinking flows easily typing into a
keyboard or through a stylus.
- You're more likely to look for something
through a word search than trying to remember where you might have
stored it.
- You have a good memory for dates, numbers,
and chronology without needing a visual overview of a whole month or
week to picture it.
Benefits to an electronic
planner
- It's lightweight and compact.
- Information can be saved and moved without
rewriting.
- Retrieval is speedy - just type in a key
word and search.
- It can be backed up on to your
computer.
