Re: getting control of emails every day….

LOL, kc.

I am trying out yet another task manager that I discovered on the internet. Free. Time waster, not time saver, since all I ever seem to do is enter tasks.This one has lots of bells & whistles – including a notebook, a timer, scheduler based on your timings (for an annual subscription fee), but I don’t think it’s helping me be more productive. I did get it to send me an email reminder to take my noon meds (which I had in my vest pocket this time).

I took a snow day on Thursday and actually watched the very long Russell Barkley youtube video. I am starting to agree with him, that no matter what tools & techniques you have read or practiced, they are utterly useless unless you can remember to use them AT THE TIME they are required. And meds are likely required to help you stay focused and increase the odds that you’ll read that to-do list (which needs to be very short). If it’s truly a brain disorder, then that’s got to be a starting point. I’ve read countless management books over the years and taken training courses. I know what to do, I can think about it beforehand, and I can think about it afterwards, but using the techniques at the right time and place are extremely elusive, as Barkley says.

I think I’ll go burn some of my time management books and take a pill 👿
