Effective Time Management

In the spirit of New Year's Resolutions, I got online to Franklin Covey today to order my new planner pages. Boy, am I going to be efficient. A quick, 10 minute, time-saving, online purchase to be delivered right to my doorstep. The height of efficiency and convenience. Ah, yes. I am starting the New Year off on the right foot.
After 2 hours, and 2 phone calls to exotic "customer service" people all the way in India, I finally found a gen-u-ine, American talking person. Found out that after 2 hours on the phone out of the country, my order wasn't placed correctly after all, so I got to repeat all the info again. (I now have the items numbers memorized if you were curious)
I also now know, that if I want to effectively manage my time while shopping for time management supplies, I'm better off to hop in my car, drive 40 minutes to Mall of America, and pick up my own stuff!
