Hi @Shaz51 🙂 Just catching up on a couple of tags and came across this one. I use Google calendar on my phone to keep appointments. My phone is always with me so as soon as something comes up I put it in there and in syncs across my phone, tablet and laptop. I find it really handy in helping me make sure I don't double book things and use it to set reminders too. I colour code things on there also (money stuff, kids stuff, my stuff, special events or days etc).

On a wall in my room I also have a big whiteboard and with a section where I write what's on for the week. I have a terrible memory for this kind of stuff but the little system I have works well for me 🙂

Hello @Shaz51

I put it straight into my phone - the calendar bit . . . with an alarm, if I didn't do that I wouldn't remember anything 🙂

[P.S. I'VE GOT A FENCE & REAL GATES!!!!! :D]

Hi @Shaz51, I write in my diary at bedtime. Woffling can be a problem, so save that for last,

1. List days events (one line, expand later). I like to start line with apex time things occurred, including summary of chance encounters, mail, phone calls & tx.

2. Finish with something positive you noticed or gained or contributed today

3. List of to dos tomorrow

time & energy permitted - expand details on on summary list.
