i am old school on this. i find that nothing helps me organize better than good old fashioned post-it notes. i use red ones for most time-sensitive stuff otherwise, whatever color i like for the current season...right now i use orange.
Completely disagree about Buenos Aires. Unsure what restaurants you went, but there is so many different types of food and delicious. Hotels, who does them? Stay in a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous terrace or patio and get to know the people around you. Take tours around all the different districts. And by the way - if from North America your dollar goes really far. Definitely worth the larger air fare.
I am a post-it note junkie. Each day, I put my to-do list for day on a post-it note. I use a daytimer for my weekly goals/to-dos. But its my daily post-it notes that keep me on track.
I'm a big fan of Evernote -- organize notes into "notebooks", and easily grab online content to access offline. But even more often I reach for a pen and an index card -- an unlined 4x6 card flipped on its side is perfect for daily to-do lists.
I've been all over the U.S. And Hollywood/LA was one of the most boring destinations I've ever been to. We really had trouble finding much of interest to do there at all.
So many tools keep me productive! I got a lot of work done on my iPad. I make lists, print coupons, pay bills, etc. I also am a fan of binders. I have a small one to organize my grocery coupons, that I carry in my purse. I have a large A-Z accordion file to keep all my manuals, receipts, instructions, etc. I even keep an extra vacuum belt under V! At work I'm queen of the post-it notes. I leave myself reminders all over.
My favorite productivity tool is my planner. It is something that I have kept doing since I was in school and needed to keep all of my assignments straight. Writing everything that I need to do down at the beginning of the week helps me plan out my week and then I can write additional things that come up as I go. Also writing them down makes me more likely to remember them.
Chexsystems consumer reports can become a serious burden to families and individuals looking to open up a new checking account. Any negative mark, whether minor a major, can prevent a consumer from having a checking or savings account.
Luckily today, there are many credit unions and banks that are either local or have branches nationwide that are willing to overlook a person's Chexsystems report. A website called "InfoAviator" at http://infoaviator.org/finance/checking-accounts/2014/05/28/how-to-open-a-second-chance-checking/ has a large verified list of these financial institutions offering "Fresh Start" and "Second Chance" checking programs that were specially designed for people that had a poor history of managing checking accounts.
I have two favorites, one high-tech and one low-tech. For high-tech, I love Toodledo. It keeps track of my tasks, and I can tell it when to bring a task to my attention (by setting a start date). I use it for work, for wedding planning, and for general personal stuff.
For low-tech, I use the bullet journal system using a plain notebook. I prefer writing things down and crossing things off, so this system works well for me. I also like that I can have special pages to keep track of things like ideas for gifts, books I'd like to read, etc.
Nothing still beats the old-fashioned paper month-by-month calendar. It's easy to see everything in context. And it's way faster than looking up something on a digital calendar. And digitally, nothing beats online banking. If you aren't doing auto-pay and/or online bill pay, don't wait any longer to try it. It's awesome.
My favorite tool is You Need a Budget (YNAB). I've used it since 2009, and it's really helped me to manage my budget and meet my financial goals. They also have an iPhone and iPad app, which really help with recording transactions and checking to see how much money I have left to spend in my budget.
One of the problems was and still is a lack of education about retirement and retirement planning. Planning for retirement should be a priority for everyone. The key is to start planning ans investing early in life and do it with every paycheck. The power of compounding is lost on many people.. There are many sites on the web that provide information on this. I found that the site Retirement And Good Living offers information on financial topics, health, retirement locations, part time work and also has a great blog of guest posts from around the globe about a variety of retirement issues.
I suppose this is true if you think of these as destinations, but many of them seem just fine as one stop on a trip. That's harder to do with Bora Bora, I suppose, but who just goes to Loch Ness and skips the entire rest of Scotland?

MINT is my favorite.
Sticky notes are my productivity tools!

My favorite tools are my iPhone and my Moleskine quad ruled journal. I'd be lost without them!
I just use pen and paper to make to do lists, and it works for me

My favorite productivity tool is my calendar on my phone and tablet.

Even though I'm a fan of technology, I still use a planner that I write in, and I also love sticky notes everywhere!
I'm definitely low tech on this. I prefer an old fashioned notebook and pen.

A handwritten to-do list that I can cross items off on. Works better than electronics.

I keep my calendar synced across all my devices - which helps me plan my days in advance and minimize driving.

I'm a big fan of ToDoist. It integrates with a multitude of platforms which makes it very convenient.
I love Todoist app! So helpful to create lists for multiple projects and itemize each step.

I make a weekly menu and shopping list. A to-do list also helps, but I'm not as diligent with that. The "off" button on the TV remote is also helpful.
