I do the same thing and my husband who helps me finds them on my desk and wants to go nuts.  Anyway, a PDA is a great thing to have with you.  I have the PDA cellphone, but am not all that happy with it.  I would rather have 2 separate units.  Many would probably disagree, but that's me.  Palm OS  PDA's have a "notes" feature built in where you can actually just write the note on the screen with the stylus and give it a title.  Then you can go back to it.  Or simply pull up the contact in the PDA and scheule whatever you have to with them.  Then you just sync it with your PC when you get home. 

Good Morning Linda-

A PDA is the way to go. I'd recommend a Treo or a Moto Q.

The laptop will come later on - one of these units will go a long way to getting you organized.

Good luck!

I have to agree.... a PDA or TREO is the way to go....   It gives you instant access to phone and email ... and your data base....

I guess until I can afford the TREO paper is the only option for me then.  Thanks for the info though gives me something to research and a goal.

The PDA is a great must have.  I still find that I do write a great deal of notes so I always have a coil bound note book with me at all times to jot things down.

You and I are in the same (paper) boat...I make sure to write info down in my notebook AS SOON as I can get my hands on it, then I toss the scrap paper in the recycling bin.
