You know, daytimers or filofaxes. Do you have one? Or do you use a program on the puter or have a pda?
I just bought one because I desperately need help in keeping track of what is due when and who is going where & at what time and etc. It's rather smallish, thanks to me getting a new purse that is entirely too small, but should work for now.
Curious how organized you all are.

I have one that fits on my briefcase. But I always leave it at home. The closest to anything like that I have on the computer are my friends' e-mail addresses* in my hotmail.
( * - and where is YOURS in there, btw?  )

I have a Palm Tungsten PDA. My life wouldn't be the same without it. It's pathetic how much I rely on that thing now.

I cannot believe you don't have it as I've posted it once or twice. No 'scuse now for you to not write regularly!!! 
You know though, I don't think I have anyone's email, except maybe Alia's. PMing is so convenient. I hate to think what would happen though if the forum blew up. <shudder>

I read the title as "Personal Matters" Where did I get that from?
I don't carry around a planner. As far as keeping track of phone numbers, they are all stored on my cell which is always with me.
I'm not organized and would love to get a PDA. Can't afford it right now though.

Nope. I use nothing but the good ol' brain. Maybe that's why I lose my bananas.

You should know that I wouldn't disquise a personal matter. 
Yeah, I'd like a PDA too, but cannot justify the expense. Someday...

I am so unorganized. I even have a palm pilot but don't use it.  I have no excuse, I'm a loser. But I never forget appointments or am I late for any either. That has to count for something.

Just let me give you my address. I'll use your palm pilot for you. I'm all about helping people, yo.

I still have my Classic Franklin Planner. Every 2-3 years I get a new leather binder, but I always pick The New Yorker theme and I use it every single day.
I tried the Palm Pilot. But I found I preferred opening up pages and seeing it all right there.

I have a Filofax that like LE I update every few years. This is my first foray away from black leather in a long long time. Here's my current one. http://store1.yimg.com/I/dayplanner_1816_14893658
I tried the Palm route, and a few years ago it had its own calendar software and couldn't synch with Microsoft Outlook, which I use at work. So I ended up noting things in both my Outlook calendar and then in the Palm calendar on my PC, too. It did synch with that, which was nice, but it was way too time consuming.
Beyond that, though, I really like the feel of writing things down. If I'm unsure about someone or something, they get pencil or a post-it note. Special things get special notations. I don't think I could ever give up my old-fashioned planner even if I did get a Palm again. But I'd more likely get a blackberry, if I were in the market for an electronic calendar. For a bit more money, you can get email and web access (and it's a cell phone!).
