I have struggled with this forever. I have gotten OK with lists of things I need to do and organizing those in a few different places I actually will look at, but what do I do about scheduling/calendars? I can do what my work calendar says but anytime I make my own schedule, it becomes invisible to me and I don’t even consider it very quickly.
Anyone have any tips for scheduling tasks and actually following through with it?
I have my phone on me all the time, so I use my Google calendar. Anytime I’m scheduling something, I’m adding it to the calendar while talking with the scheduler. I set the notification based on what I’m doing, something that requires going somewhere or is important I’m getting that reminder a day before, an hour before I need to leave and when I need to leave( I also build in 10 minutes of poor time planning skills into leaving time knowing it will take longer than i expect). Things like medication are alarms that I won’t allow myself to turn off until I’ve actually taken it. My notifications are all audible. Figure out what gets your attention best and run with it, for me I know my brain will fight me if I let it so I annoy myself into doing it. One last thing I do is have the calendar widget on my homescreen so when I’m flipping through I catch a glance at what’s coming up.
