In my recent past I uest to have a notebook (a moleskin, which are great if you are ever in need of a journal or a to-do booklet.) that I would write everything down in that I needed to get done for the week. I would have a little box out beside the task that I would check off when I was finished. I felt very organized and accomplished when I would check off the list. But then things started to unravel. I started noticing that my list would become scattered. I would have random thoughts written out beside the checkered list and then there would be random number lists out beside that (I am guessing I was trying to keep a hold on my bank account but obviously this wasn't working seeing that I always forgot why the numbers were there whenever I opened the notebook.)
Then I started forgetting to even bring the notebook with me. This was the beginning of the end. Since I didn't have the notebook I had to start writing notes and tasks any where that was in my range of visibility, i.e. Post-its, my hands, my mouse pad. It made me feel so frazled and out of control. And then craziness occurred, I just started to completely forget things all together. Usually I can remember something that needs to get done long enough to at least write it down somewhere but not anymore. Nope. I just have that feeling of knowing I am forgetting something but not knowing what. It is so frustrating and stress inducing. I am constantly worried I am going to forget something major or that I am going to miss work because I just forgot it was a work day.
I take vitamins (a lot of them), I get enough sleep, I eat pretty healthy, I exercise but still what is the deal? Is this happening because of my age? Is it going to get worse? Because, if so, I have got to get a system down to get this madness under control!
What are your ways of cutting down on the forgetful craziness? How do you manage to get everything and all done?
