Are Franklin Planners still a must-have for office organizing?

Low-tech office tools

Yeah, I know this phone in the cartoon is a little (a lot) old, but lots of businesses still use obsolete equipment. And you should see how I draw TVs– the older the better, yum.

When a good friend showed me her Franklin Planner, and explained how it worked, I almost fell in love. This system of organizing would make me a better person! Now it’s called Franklin Covey Planner. I assumed it would also be digital now, but when I click their software page it looks blank…weird.

I don’t hear much about them anymore…are they still a must-have? She swears by it, but she also gets the latest iPhones, so…maybe she just likes trends? 🙂 I’ve always been fascinated by them and their magic powers of organizing, regardless.

And as for the rest of the cartoon, I do have calendars and I still read TV Guide or similar every day, online. I love me some TV, the shows, and the entertainers!

Here’s how to buy this or any Business cartoons for powerpoint, advertising, newsletters, blogs, textbooks, etc.
