Being organized doesn’t come naturally to me; I have to work
at it. The biggest help I’ve found is my Franklin planner. I’ve used it to keep
track of lessons, meetings, appointments, recital plans, rehearsal schedules,
performance dates, recipes, you name it. I consult it to see whose turn it is
to play the organ next Sunday and whether I should put the rubbish or the
recycling on the curb Wednesday. I keep old volumes on hand in case I need to know
when bought my car or what year we visited Germany. Most everyone I know has
switched to electronic planners, but I’m not sure I’ll ever completely leave my
binder behind. I like the feel of the pages, and the fact that it can’t
contract a computer virus. I even love the quotes at the top of each page.
Yesterday’s was Schopenhauer: “The most beautiful thought runs the risk of
being irrevocably forgotten if it is not written down.”
