[quote=doodlebug]I put things on my phone calendar which syncs to google (or vice versa) so no matter whether I add something to the calendar on my phone, ipod, or computer it will remind me on each device. I also put reminder alarms. Sometimes I set the reminder to go off at the time of the event (like for something I need to do at home) and other times I set the reminder for 5 min or 2 hrs or even one day ahead depending on what it is and what the consequences would be if I forgot it and how long it would take me to get there.

The other organized thing I do is do the majority of cooking on Sunday. I make something I can put into containers for lunch...this week it's shepherds pie, other weeks it might be a homemade soup of some kind etc. I put the entree in glass containers for each day of the week so I only have to grab a container, a piece of fruit, and a couple of veg (which may or may not be cut in advance depending on what it is) and then lunch is done. It's easy to do even if I don't pack my lunch bag the night before which I usually try to do. It makes getting out the door at 7 am possible.

I do the same for dinner except I don't pack it up individually. Of course you have to commit to your dinners in advance but it might be worth it for you to try it. On Fridays  I tend to plan to eat out or at least grab something to go from the store on the way home. Whatever I cooked on Sunday is either no longer good or is gone. I recently started a delivery service that delivers fresh produce on Thursday mornings which is nice since I was eating out too much on the weekends because the fridge was looking pretty empty or not so fresh by Friday.

Those might be the only two areas of my life where I'm organized but those were the biggest ones for me and getting my calendar reminders set and meals organized has saved me a lot of hassle and headaches.[/quote]
