[quote=Anonymous]I am so organized, it is truly unreal at times. I remember even being this way as a young child, lining up my stuffed toys by color & size. Now as an adult, I am even more so organized, it's crazy. Though w/age (I am 47!), my memory is not as strong as it once was so I have been writing a lot more things down. I keep multiple lists in my mind, but from speaking to others... I know this isn't viable for everyone. So I suggest you make tangible written lists. Get an agenda @an office supply or bookstore. Then write a list on each day of what needs to be done when. For example: • MON.- Pick up prescriptions at CVS, buy glue sticks for son, take the car to get washed + mop kitchen/dining room floors after loading dishwasher. • TUE.- Mail package to Mom, return (or renew) library books, vet appointment at 4:30PM + vacuum living room/hallways/bedrooms before kid's bedtime. • WED.- Go to Costco right after work, fill up gas tank, pick-up dry cleaning (make sure claim check is in wallet!) + take trash & recycling bins out to curb before bed. When you make a Dr.'s appointment, make sure to automatically write it down in your agenda. Start a spreadsheet for your bank account(s). Make sure to go through your mail AT LEAST every other day. Do not let it lie around because the stack of it will continue to double both in mind and reality. Purchase attractive baskets or storage bins to keep items by category. I.e., Electronics, toys, library books, etc. And keep a bowl in the foyer created especially to drop and pick-up keys when entering & exiting. Hope this helps! :) Good luck! :) You got this![/quote]
