My right hand man and sometimes my brain.

As a person who sometimes has to many irons in the fire, I have learned that being and staying organized is a challenge. First I did the sticky note on the computer, but between me saying "I'll do that later" and the cat thinking they where the best toys ever it didn't work. I bought a day planner after talking to a dear friend at the Assessors Office. Did I use it? At first no, I was horrible filling in my day after it was over! I had a class at Kaplan University that made me keep track of my time. (Papers are not going to write themselves). I have found that keeping myself on track is really helping me get things done. I use the block method and give myself an allotted amount of time to complete a task.

Now here is the brain part. You ever have a day where you are not sure what is going on? Happens to me a lot. To many things pop up and I loose track of everything. (Case in point missing bull, neighbor found him and called told me where he was, if I had not written it down he would still be there) Writing things down like phone calls I get or make helps jog my memory when I cannot remember if I talked to that person. I also write down some weird things like if I watered the plants, or did the laundry (I think I need a maid) or if something really catches my attention and I want to remember it to go back again.

 

I am always open to ideas on keeping organized and staying on track. Thank you for putting up with my scatter brain post  the coffee pot is not working today so I am still in a haze.
