Paper trumps digital every time for speed of data access and entry, security and general enjoyment of use. I've recently taken delivery of a brand new BlackBerry Q10 and have taken the opportunity its speed afforded to properly try 100% digital planning.

I even tried Cozi calendar app on our phones so he would know where everyone was when he came home to an empty house. My biggest gripes for the palm was touching the screen and poof it had checked an item off and I had to go find it. My biggest gripe with Cozi is that, with kids, so much is repetitive--yet more Cassandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16884473950726909345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-83165596817426199252013-09-09T08:13:59.633-04:002013-09-09T08:13:59.633-04:00Hi Steve - I still love planners/ organisers and r...Hi Steve - I still love planners/ organisers and read Philofaxy every day! However, much as I would love a return to everything in my life being in a big fat Filofax, I have also embraced technology, because life has become much more complex, just at the time my grey cells seem to be faltering! <br /><br />I've tried numerous apps - most of them are indeed mediocre!

It makes sense to try and use both but for each ones merits. <br /><br />Which version of Pocket Informant do you use?
