[quote=Anonymous]And, just to add -- I did quit a job where, instead of dozens of concurrent assignments, I had scores of concurrent assignments.  That was too much for me to juggle.  But dozens is fine -- I have a working list of short-term and a few working lists of long term assignments. I do a daily quick check of my immediate lists; a weekly re-do of my immediate list; a monthly and quarterly revision of my long-term, plus I use calendar dates and reminders.  If I had not learned what works for me, as an individual, over 40+ years of living with this condition, I would be a mess.

The biggest challenge for me typically is forcing myself to do the stuff that I really don't like, which sinks to the bottom of my list.  (For this, I use incentives.  I can get a tasty snack if I cross off three of the crap-assignments on my to-do list.)  Or when there's a new thing that I need to build into my life -- like when everyone started using evites for party invitations, I initially let a few fall through the cracks while I adjusted to that new system.  Now I love evite because it's all in one place, and secretly resent the people that use paperless post.
