Attempts at rigid organization have never worked for me, wither a calendar (other than for appointments) or some written plan.
I prefer to set tasks;
- Immediate with completion (times|dates)
- Intermediate goals with some working window.
- Short-term goals 12 months to 18 months.
Immediate can just be a mental list -- a weekly plan.
Intermediate goals I just make a directory and make subdirectories -- on a good USB so that it is portable between working machines.
I hate filling out forms -- like a chained monkey. I prefer to work with a series of tasks (topics to be explored), objects and notes that I design and personalize. The advantage is in back and forth work and future planning. You can organize your work how you best understand it.
