Okay, so I have my new BlackBerry, which I absolutely LOVE :love:.

Here's my dilemma...a few months back, I purchased the PlannerPad and really like it too. I'm just wondering about how I can use both together productively, or should I just pick one and stick with that?

Is anyone out there having any luck with integrating an electronic and paper-based system together??

Okay, so on my Berry, I am using the calendar, "Tasks" (for to do things that have one single step, like call so-and-so), memos (for any misc info I want, like grocery list and projects). The only thing, I wish I could categorize my to do lists or have lists attached to particular days.

Anyone wanna throw ideas my way?? :o

TIA! :)

Oh, and BTW, I'm addicted to the bubble game!! LOL ;)
 
You have the Bubble game on the Blackberry? I have the Brick Game on my BB but had the Bubdle Game on my Blackjack which my husband now has. I love both of them!!! Luke loves to play the brick game, right now the bubble game is a little hard for him.

I do not know what PlannerPad is, so, I cannot compare the two. But I use my BB for EVERYTHING. I would be lost without it. I would choose 1 thing and go with it to not have to be looking at 2 different things and making sure everything is on both of them.
 
Marie-France,

I think you need to choose one. When you're using two systems at a time, it's a pain to keep both updated and easy to forget to transfer information from one to the other.

I don't know anything about the Blackberry, but perhaps someone can help you figure out if there is a way to categorize your tasks.
