Scattybird,

Interesting idea about the extra day at a glance thingy for a to do list. Will have to think about that. I have one big Agenda that I use now although I’ve tried everything known to man – i swear I could be a time-management sales person – just can’t manage myself :-)

Since last April I have reverted back to the paper Agenda so that I don’t suffer from out of sight out of mind issues. As a techie type person I love the idea of syncing my iphone and mac and ipad but the reality of it was that I still forgot everything. The minute something ended up in the bowls of the operating system it ceased to exist for me. I forgot to check stuff far too often. Although I think better when I type that didn’t seem to apply with time issues. Somehow the tactile aspect writing it down on paper must connect with the memory functions of the brain.

I must say I impressed myself – I just looked back on the my Agenda for 2011 and I actually wrote in it every week. Usually I would skip weeks or months at a time but this system is really working.

No-dopamine – tried the “get right to work” thing today as well as leaving myself next step notes and today was very productive.
