oh you need to create a thread on "how to organize your life." cause i'm the official poster child for disorganization i think. not on purpose, i just have a hard time remembering things due to the damage from the coma, to my short term memory.   if you told me to make a list and follow it, i'd forget to look at the list unless i followed it enough days in a row that it became a habit.  and someone would have to remind me every day until it became crystallized memory.  my health interfers with some forms of organization too, such as deep cleaning the house.

Here's a plan:  Write up the list and set an alarm that goes off daily.  Put a sticky by the alarm with the reason it's been set (i.e., "Read the list").  As far as the deeper cleaning things...  That's what kids are for - invite Them over if They've moved out!  LOL!  Really, don't know what One who has cleaning issues does but hope someOne offers help.  Until recently, My ex did that stuff...  Only thing He was good for.

This is what works for me regarding " To Do Lists"

I used to be the Grandmaster of " To Do lists"
Sometimes they would be two pages long! Front and back! Not kidding! I would spend every evening before I went to bed making them up....very detailed things because George and I were running a business, I was helping run my Dads office and lab at Bird Park and at this particular time I had a five year old that had all kinds of projects that were added to the list.... especially helping out with her local " Pony Club"....

And I was GOOD at accomplishing everything on those pages, believe it or not. I just ran across a whole book of those lists and now I just shake my head because I remember what it felt like.... the only gratification I got... it seemed... was the ability to strike that chore off my list! I began to feel like a machine, not a person. The list was beginning to take over my life. If it wasn't on my list.... I didn't do it until my list was done.... it ( whatever it was).... just would have to go on the NEXT list.  Oh my......

Of course I am older.... we are not operating the business any more.... Jennifer has moved away in miles and years and has her own family. I keep horses and dogs but have no other responsibilities toward clubs or organizations.... its a different life.

Not any less busy though, trust me.

But regarding lists, Now I simply mark down what I HAVE Accomplished during the day. Its sort of the other way around.... instead of being demanding the list suddenly becomes a list of accomplishments.... its cool... it makes me feel good.... its just different.

So maybe I might suggest.... Leave your actions open to what you FEEL like doing during the day. You are a grownup.... you know what needs to be done... do it, or postpone it, up to you.... but what you do accomplish.... write it down. sometimes you will surprise yourself at how productive you are when you are the master of that list and not the slave to it. Just a thought.

I never worked with C++, just a little with C, many years ago, and no, I don't think we already had this conversation.

soooooo, what language are you programming with?

hmmm.  as long as they were only glasses and not implants, i might, might .....maybe, cautiously, try it.  dunno.  having that much electronic activity that close to my brain, seems risky.  got enough problems in there to begin with lol

I would imagine by my various threads and posts and musical tastes, I must appear bi- polar to all! LOL     


Nah, it's being a Libra... I have to balance a dose of one, with the other! 






 

nah, someone just led you to believe that.  almost everybody has the same spattering of good and bad moments.

Oh no, Undo, not google glasses!
I hope it doesnt bully my brain like it bullies my laptop.
Google loves to watch and record our every move and word, using their excellent spyware.
I keep google signed off whenver I do anything but check my email.
And that emf from a pair of goggles will be ok for a day or two, but look up the result from the tests and I bet you see a lot of headaches and sleeplessness among the testers. Thats if you can find anything bad about google on google!
Spyware for your brain...google!
Of course bing and the rest arent any better.

At the moment, VB.Net and Javascript, although I am not much at each with Javascript (and I don't like case sensitive languages), but I know how to use Google.
