I take notes and write up mini reviews on my laptop when I watch shows as its the only way I can follow what’s happening. Even with no distractions I tend to drift off into my thoughts.
Once or a twice a year at work I’ll go through the cycle of creating a new planning system, doing really well with it before it ultimately fails. It’s better than nothing though. I’m using Microsoft Planner a lot now.
I have a Galaxy Watch which I use to help with my morning routine. It syncs with google calendar and I schedule in everything I need to do in minute detail (wake up, get up, make breakfast, eat breakfast etc…) it kinda works but not so much just recently. Again better than nothing.
How about you?
I use an actual physical planner. Going to Barnes & Noble to buy next year’s planner is somewhat of a ritual at this point I guess.
If I hand write things down, I usually remember them. If it’s not in the planner, it’s not getting done. ADHD turned me into a relentless box checker.
Tried that but I forget the planner exists and inevitably lose it so I stick to cloud-based apps now. ToDoist is my go to for personal checklists and planning now
I remember learning to use a Franklin Planner at one point.
These days, I use Google Calendar and Tasks, simply because I keep my phone on my person at nearly all times. The key to using these tools long term for me is to keep them immediately available.
