Hope you understand what I am trying to say here. An agenda is a word that can mean a book that you can record planned activities. Any executive busy or not needs an agenda to run his activities day to day. Most of them will have a secretary or personal assistant to maintain the agenda for him or her. But if you are just a simple earthling like me you will just have to maintain one yourself. Mine is very simple and I actually don't remember the last time I bought one- I think before I owned a cell phone. Basically, I don't use my phone so much for calls but I use it a lot as a sort of an agenda. I love to use the notes feature to record ideas and sometimes write my shopping list there too. I use the organizer feature for my reminders. At least I save our forests by not buying another agenda.
Agendas are organized like a normal calendar except they have slots to enter some notes for activities for each hours of the day. Just like people like to brand themselves through the clothes they wear and the cars they drive so can agendas be used for the same. A leather agenda is a mark of success. And as the saying ‘fake it until you make it' goes, you can too buy one and look successful till you get there. After all we live in a society that values the outer cover than the inside. Who has time to discover what you have inside it is all about first impressions. Now there are of course digital agenda. Please use them and help us save our forests. You can even use online agendas if you work in a networked office or company and there is need for others to know where and what you are doing. You might want to limit the access though a certain persons for security reasons. You never know someone may have a hidden agenda for you especially if you are in management, hopefully not.
