Good for you, nellie! I got away late, so the day started late, but I did work on a previous commitment that I’d put off for a long time, so I guess it was productive, albeit frustrating!

scattybird, I used to use a daytimer years ago, but gave it up as I was just carrying around a lot of paper! I like the single page hand-written approach, I can use that for about 2 days before it starts to get messy, then I just transfer the tasks/errands that haven’t been finished onto a new sheet and add in what I need to do the next day. I just don’t go to bed until I’ve planned the day. I’m getting better at doing what I’ve planned, but I do find that errands take up a lot of time, so I need to be more realistic about carving out space for them, otherwise I get very frustrated and cranky.

nellie, I agree, I’m a touch typist so can get stuff into the computer fairly quickly, but it’s the writing down by hand that somehow gets it into my mind. If I don’t turn on the computer, I’m doomed, but if I have a piece of paper, I have half a chance of remembering (I always put a posty note on the bathroom mirror if I have an appointment or something unusual to do the next day).
