[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much damage is the leaking causing? If it's something that can be worked around I would put this one to the side and not take on debt. My #1 priority would be my son, then on finding a job.

Can you make yourself a daily schedule? Such as:
9-11 AM medical stuff
11 AM break
12-2 PM submit job applications
2-3 PM break
3-5 PM household admin stuff (paying bills, looking for a contractor, grocery shopping)

Of course, if you have a medical emergency or a call back from a provider, you drop everything else in that moment because that's #1.

If you get a job interview, of course you can swap out that time (interview in the morning - do the medical stuff in the afternoon).

I find it helps to make a very elaborate document with bullet points for everything and try to knock out a couple of bullets each day. For me when I was looking for a job, it was tasks like, upgrade to a better phone; pick my references; email my references; polish resume; make a list of potential sites to search; make an indeed account; make USA Jobs account; get a copy of my transcript; create spreadsheet for apps; submit application for job; followup on application. Just really little things like that so I could be accomplishing a few small things a day.[/quote]

Op here. Thank you. This is helpful. Where do you write the bullets? Just in a word doc? Or with a physical list?[/quote]

I've done both. It is nice having a word docs with fancy headings and can also include things like callback numbers there. I think that would work better for you? Like you can have a bullet to call Dr. X to make an appointment for your son and note the number. And once you call you can note the date and time of the appointment or any follow up. And then you can use a strike through font to note its been done but without erasing it. I would use Google do so it's accessible by phone or computer.

But when it comes to smaller things like my daily or weekly to do list I just use paper and cross things off. Considering your issues are bigger in scope a typed document is probably better. [/quote]
