Let's see: I have - insulin and blood sugar to attend to: mostly I get that right. I keep glucometers, glucose and insulin in the office, at home and in the car. Then there are medical appointments: I put them in my phone, in Outlook at work, and keep the appointment cards to remind me. Then there's shopping and errands: either in the phone or on scraps of paper or both. Then there's work-at-home: lists, reminders, leaving things around to remind me. Then there's work stuff: I keep daily run sheets, on a weekly basis, but sometimes it's Wednesday before I get started. Sometimes Tuesday is the last time I see this weeks... Outlook keeps track of workplace meetings fairly well. Other research: on paper in one of the piles that adorn my desk. They look chaotic, but in fact they're reviewed weekly and finding any particular document (once I'm reminded of its existence) is a five-second task.
And then there's today's work, which builds up across twenty or thirty windows on the screen I'm facing most of the day. When half of those are browsers with ten or fifteen tabs on them, that amounts to a fair density of information. I regularly find unsent emails at the end of the day as the stack closes down.
My levels of disorganisation are a little extreme sometimes, but boredom is the enemy. |

Not sure how much help I can really be here as I don't personally have this issue but my 9 year old so and my 60 year old boss do. My boss's fix was easy, he hired me as his PA  I organise his day completely including making sure I have his breakfast, lunch at work in the fridge, book in things like haircuts etc and make sure he attends all the things he should. I know this service is available through some online PA services. I wonder if something like this could work for you?
For my son I try to make his day extremely repetitve at the beginning and the end. Ie, wake up, breakfast, make lunch, pack bag, brush teeth. Then at night bath, teeth, read, uniform ready for tomorrow etc. My hope being that it will burn itself into his memory and he can make small adjustments as necessary through the years. Admittedly it's not working overly well at the moment and I am not the one with this issue so I don't know if what I am doing will be helpful or not. I just keep trying
Can I just quickly say though, and I am extremely sorry for going off topic. But you will never know how helpful you guys posting these topics is for us NT parents who are trying hard to understand our children who do have some challenges. It gives us information that our children may not yet be able to verbalise.It is absolutely invaluable. So .. yeah *hugs* |
