I really need to get organized, or perhaps motivated! One of my new years resolutions.

Any action here?

I think perhaps my time management problem has more to do with motivation and focus. I have all my daily jobs organized, typed and on a disc, heck i even have my yearly and monthly jobs organized.I just can't follow through everyday. I do really well for a short time, maybe a day and then i flake off. It may have to do with my ADHD, which i am addressing this mnonth. I still love the whole concept of organization and time managemenT I use visual prompts like lists and post- it's.I use alarm clocks , set to remind me to do things. I found weekly pill boxes with alarms that can be set for 4 different times of the day (walmart less than 10 bucks). I have 4 of those and use the alarms for things other than just my meds. I had regular alarm clocks but couldn't remember to set and wind them. So yes motivation and focus.....ANYONE HAVE ANY TIPS?

sOMETHING I LEFT OFF. I have a kitchen Timer I carry around to help me not get off track. racing the timer when i'm doing small jobs like picking up the den helps me not get side track by picture album or bird outside the window. I can really get distracted. I have read dozens of time management and organization booksI can tell you how to manage YOUR time, i just can do it for myself.

think I need a timer that is hard wired into the pain center of my brain; something to MAKE me do stuff!

Hi there - time management is one of my favorite love/hate relationships.

I've tried using day-timer planners and have found that I have to balance what "the world gives" to me and what works for me as an individual.

I find that down-sizing my goals helps quite a bit.

Picking 2-4 juicy ones, focusing on them seems to get the motivation going and then ___ when the energy waivers ....? (well more work on the problem).

    Hello, This is my first post. My son passed away 1 1/2 years ago. I'm almost sure it was a suicide, but in any case, it was a drug overdose. I miss him like it was yesterday. The missing him, the guilt, like why couldn't I save him. The having to act like I'm doing so well. The toll on my health. I have epilepsy now. The isolating. The inability to get anything done. I moved six months ago and...

    Just letting you know what happened.  Wednesday afternoon the site said I was banned.  I contacted them via e-mail responses to a spammer I had reported.  (Always need to keep the site safe.)  I was heartbroken that some would feel I had abandoned them.  An hour ago, I got an e from DS that said the banning was an error, so I am back with the many people I care about.  Healing hugs to all,...
