My newest idea is to tape my short list inside my Nook. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before. 🙂 I open my Nook everyday whether for reading or using other Apps. I think that will work. Right? Who am I kidding I am the queen of procrastination.
I really try to keep myself productive during the day since I do not work outside of the home. I like to make lists because as I cross them off I feel like I have accomplished something. A bit of a mind game with myself. It helps to keep me on track. When it works. 🙂
I have a calendar in Google with everyday tasks and print it out weekly. I don’t always follow it in the order it is listed. I definitely don’t accomplish all the tasks. Why the heck do I keep making them?
I think it makes me feel like I am working. I had a calendar at work, when I was working, that kept track of deadlines so I guess that is why I still make them.
I know if I didn’t put certain tasks or events on it I would definitely forget them. It has happened on occasion.
Recently I was busy doing research online and completely forgot to pick up my son from school!
If my google calendar had not sent me the text my son would have walked all the way home. Thank goodness it was a nice day and he had headed this way.
Of course, when I reached him he gave me a difficult time. 🙂 If we lived closer to the school, I wouldn’t mind him walking but it is quite a hike. Plus, it gets me out of the house and breaks the routine of the day to go pick him up. 🙂
I have on my Google calendar when to write, blog, clean, errands, art, emails, bills, and the biggest one I forget to do EXERCISE! 🙂 Hmm maybe that is more being lazy. I do like to exercise I just don’t seem to accomplish that one as often as I should. I am a creature of habit so I need to make it a habit.
Guess what I do with each sheet printed? Trash? Keep?
Yes, I three hole punch each week and it is nicely put in a notebook. I’m weird. 🙂 It actually comes back to that forgetful thing. I can look up a certain day and know a bit of what I did. I also write on it when I take my blood pressure pills, etc. It has many purposes.
It has been handy if I need to look back on those days if someone has a question about something on one of the days.
When I was in my teenage years and even twenties I could recall almost anything without ever writing it down. Miss that. 😦
One good thing, gives me reason to buy lots of neat post-it notes and play with templates for calendars on the computer. 🙂
Do you have to keep track of tasks and notes? Is your memory still as sharp as a whipper snapper? (My grandma use to say that)
