Totally-- hard when you're starting out, but definitely starts to click over time... thanks Cole!

thanks Jonathan!

Thanks! Not sure what you mean by "exit money," but hey-- I'll take it.

I don't disagree, really. Some positions obviously aren't made for "unicorns" but, that said, have found that just because someone is brilliant doesn't mean they're necessarily a pain in the ass.

If you're wondering whether it's worth it, definitely sounds like it probably isn't for you. Like all fulfilling things in life (I imagine like getting a PhD, eg.), it's freakin' hard-- so you better go after the things that you think will be worth it & more, IMHO.

Less catchy of a title?

sure thing, Jacob-- appreciate this.

Totally right, sorry for leaving it out-- basically I use that section for anything that doesn't fall into day-to-day stuff or to-dos. It's some idea I had that I wanted to put down, thoughts for the future, etc... Meeting notes go in the day breakdown (notice all the bright blue stuff blotted out of the day summary in the last screenshot). Hope that makes sense!

Promise my memory hasn't turned to mush-- if anything, it's improved?

Ha-- yeah, swear I used to think this, too... but now am convinced that the time I put into my master planner pays off later in spades thanks to structure & organization. At least that's what I keep telling myself. :)

Also for what it's worth, I have a moleskine I keep too. That's mostly for writing down stuff more visually-- but there are some things I definitely prefer writing on paper as well.
