Too much?

I now have Google Calendar, a small purse-size 4" x 6" planner, a matching 8" x 9" paper planner for my backpack, a desk pad calendar, a wall calendar, and a Kindle planner that is hyperlinked between month, week, and day, all synchronised.

On the one hand, I feel very organised. On the other hand, it's a bit much. The main one is the one in my purse. After all, I can jot down appointments in the MD's office, etc. and then transfer them, because I suck at getting my phone to come up well when people are working and waiting on me. But I acknowledge things can go wrong. So every couple of days I do a sort of inventory. But still..it is a lot.

When I get a job, the calendars will separate a bit. The desk calendar will be at work; the planners will be with me. The wall calendar is on the door of my bedroom, and of course Google Calendar is on my phone and computer. I can also get to it on my Kindle Scribe. It would be nice if I could get the book to link to that, but I don't think it can. But it does go through 2027, so that's nice.

Oooohhh!!!

 So I got an email yesterday from Amazon about a new update to the Kindle Scribe that gives you the ability to add shapes from the writing toolbar, but also Smart Shapes, which allows you to draw a shape, say a triangle, then hold the pen for a moment, and the shape will snap into perfect lines. What they didn't say in the e-mail is:

1. You can then move and rotate the shape by manipulating it, even reactivating it later. This currently just works in notebooks, but it's really useful.
2. The same update lets you handwrite on images in eBooks with enhanced typesetting and on Word documents sent to Kindle.
3. Most importantly, this update is available now for my Kindle Scribe (the 2022 original Scribe), but not yet for the two later models. Hmm...

Anyway, if you have the original Scribe and the update hasn't downloaded yet, you can download it manually by going to this page and downloading it to your computer, then moving it over via USB. Be sure you choose the correct version for your device. And if you're reading this later, it should be version 5.19.4 [or presumably later]. The image below is Amazon's demonstration from the email, but yes, it works just like depicted.
