Reminds me of my favorite Zen quote - "If you're going to stand, stand. If you're going to sit, sit. Above all, don't wobble!"

I tend to define projects the same way, breaking down "grand" projects into weekly, monthly and quarterly chunks to make them manageable.

I'll have to check out the Allen book - thanks for the resource.

I like paper better too, and continually bounce back and forth. I find the PDA allows me to resked and recopy appointments and tasks quicker and neater than rewriting, and is a great portable rolodex. But,you're right, there's something subconsciously pleasing about writing on paper.
