Make and use lists

Use pen and paper rather than electronic devices

Have four basic lists:
 - My schedule. For the entire year, day by day.
 - To-do list. Organized by month, week, and day, prioritized as A's, B's, and C's.
 - People to call list. Prioritized alphabetically.
 - Conference Planner. A page about everyone you interact with.
Write down things you need to talk about.
