We prefer the FranklinCovey planners for organizing you daily activities for those people that just do not want to use a computer for this part of their personal lives.  

There are many reasons to use a planner system instead of or in addition to a computer system.  We have tried it all.  

  • We have tried using the FranklinCovey computer software only without the use of the paper planner.  Although this was neat, you had to be in front of you computer all day.  The biggest disadvantage was the inability to use your planner system when away from the office or for personal use.  For those that have home office and are there most of the time and like to use a computer for this type detail, you might find this software beneficial.
  • We have tried using the software and a planner together, entering the information and then printing the pages to put into the planner when leaving the office.  Although this sounds good, you spend a lot of time entering trivial information into the computer in order for it to appear on the pages.  You then have to print the pages and the amount of time involved is usually not worth the effort.
  • We have tried using just the planner, as it was designed to be used by FranklinCovey.  This works well if you want to keep all your information in the planner and no information in a computer.  If you are not inclined to use a computer, or hate using a computer, or do not have a computer available...This is the system for you.
  • We have tried using a combination of the FranklinCovey planner, GoldMine Contact Management software and PalmPilot hardware and software.  This is the system we are currently using.  All of our contacts are entered into GoldMine (you could use ACT or Microsoft Outlook) and then synchronized using Companion Link Software.  This gives us the ability to use the contact management program when in the office and still have the information available when away.  We can also schedule appointments when away and add notes to a contacts records.  When we return to the office, we hit one button and the information is synchronized back to the main computer.  By doing this we have the best of both worlds and a great amount of flexibility.
