*** ATTENTION, disorganized DU'ers! ***

[FlyingSquirrel]

I've had a revelation. There's no friggin' way I'm ever going to carry a datebook around, no matter how much I try. I'm probably never gonna buy a palm pilot, and keeping track of stuff in my phone doesn't work all that well either. But I now have a solution! (I think.) And so I'm breaking my rule of not logging in (which I made for myself 'cause I was spending too much time here) to share the joy.

If you're like me and you haven't found a solution for your organizational problems, try this:

Print up the following, and keep it in your wallet. Or make one for yourself using your favorite spreadsheet. There is blank space after the days of the week to write in the dates. The first part is for the current week; the next part is for upcoming weeks. I'm gonna try to keep 2 of these in my wallet - it's sized to fit perfectly if you cut along the edges and fold into eighths. Once you're into the next week, transfer stuff from the bottom part into it, toss the old week and add a new blank one so you always have 2 weeks at a time. Or if that's too much, just keep one week at a time (and transfer stuff from the bottom part into next week when it comes).

Good luck (to me and to you!)

1. Datebooks are easier, dude.

Really.

It's also helpful to make shit lists of things you gotta do, and check them off.

Just do not put too many things on one list and expect to get it all done in one day. Then you'll get discouraged.

2. Yeah, but will it beep at you if you are forgetting a deadline? nt

3. You rang?

Actually, I use my Daytimer a lot, not only for my appointments, but for my client's appointments so that I can keep track of what they're doing.

It's not always easy to keep track of things, but I think I'm doing better now than I used to.

4. I'm glad you found something that works for you.

:D I write important stuff on my hand. I figure I can't lose that.
