Okay, it's not an iPhone...but it is the new HTC/Sprint Touch; I love it; and it's mine. Sometime in my early teen years we all realized that I suffered from ADDD (attention deficit and disorganization disorder). Throughout highschool, I was forced to use the daily planner for homework, and I was given a desk calendar for home. Niether of these worked. I would simply write notes in the boxes to look like I was using them and thereby stay out of trouble. But, trouble always found me when tests would surpise me and homework was due. Somehow, I finished high school, though I never learned organization, good listening skills, or time management. In college, my routine was to blow-off daily assignments and excel on projects and papers. While my wife and friends' hard-work allowed them to graduate summa cum laude, manga cum laude, and cum laude; my professor explained that my strategy enabled me to graduate thank the Laude (thanks for the encouragement McGraw). Four years later, and I'm still getting by (thank the Laude).
Dont' read me wrong, I'm no dummy; I'm merely a methodically challenged person. There are multitudes of us out here. I have read Stephen Covey and Dale Carnegie; I've tried using the Palm Pilot, the big daily organizer, the pocket sized calender; but I have not allowed anything to become habit. And so for Plan 34c.1: the all-in-one pocket-pc/phone. I've been using the new Sprint Touch for only a few days, but I believe that this time....this time, things will be different. With email, weather, traffic, reminders, iCalendar, internet, iPhoto, microsoft office, yada, yada, all @ the touch of a finger tip (and crammed into a tiny little phone that fits in my pocket), how can I lose. Wish me luck .

Just don't leave it in your pants.
I'd hate to think Lindsey would accidentally wash it.
McGraw is such an encourager. (In fact, he and I used to have a joke that involved me calling him . . . wait for it . . . "an encourager.")
So now that you're a month into the year and a month into the HTC/Sprint Touch, what's your organizational status?
Also, can Lindsey fit it in her pocket? I LOVE my iPhone, but if I could change one thing about it, I'd make it just a little shorter. We women have shallow pockets.
Yes, katy, my phone should be able to fit in lindsey's pocket. It is a bit shorter than the iphone. Though, she has mixed feeling about my phone. In part, she appreciates me remembering things, adversely, she is jealous of the time I spend playing with my phone :)
