Paper or Plastic?

It's the start of a new semester -- time for me to pretend to get organized again. I'm actual very good at getting organized, but suck when it comes to staying organized. I love putting together new, more efficient systems, but three weeks into the semester I've trashed the system completely.

The big organization dilemma has struck again -- paper or plastic? A paper-based system is easy to work with, but it isn't digital so I'm likely to leave it sitting around the house somewhere. A tech-based (plastic computer parts) system will live on my TabletPC and be close at hand, but in all honesty updating a TabletPC still isn't as easy as updating a piece of paper.

I'm probably going to "go digital" because I don't want to waste time setting up my printer, and because I owe it to my profession. Plus it makes me look good -- everyone is impressed when I actually use the TabletPC instead of treating it like a toy. This means kissing my beloved Rollabind system good-bye, but it's not like I was using it to its fullest potential.

I need to run to Kinko's in a few minutes. Several weeks ago I designed flyers and table toppers for this semester's Learning Communities. (THANKS to all the wonderful photographers at morguefile.com!) Due to circumstances beyond my control they weren't ever printed, so tonight I'm going to use my own money to get it done, and ask for reimbursement later. The flyers are below. The table toppers are almost identical, except they have a lot more white space as the class descriptions are on the reverse.
