Is it finally time to ditch that paper organiser?

Calendars, to-do lists and projects can be easily managed through smartphone apps these days.

Lost notes, forgotten appointments, crumpled to-do lists – organising your life on paper is fraught with hazards. And then, of course, there's the risk that if you lose your paper organiser, you will have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Fortunately, today it's possible to banish paper altogether and do all your organising digitally. To start with, you can use the calendar that comes pre-installed on your smartphone, whether it's an iPhone or an Android device.
