Getting organized
I have so many thoughts, ideas, lists, goals, people, events, obligations...so many stuffs to keep track of and doing so, the keeping track of them part, is not easy, as any human will give an “amen!” to. I am not unique in this part of life, but how one deals with all of the various things one needs to keep track of, that’s where it becomes specific to the individual and how they operate.
I operate first with pen and paper. I always have a notebook with me. Always. I will turn the car around for two things: chapstick and my notebook. It is my life. If I lose it I am lost. And so yes, there is a financial reward if you happen upon it and return it to me. Everything starts in this notebook. Everything.
But then I turn the page. What happens then? Daily reviews, for sure, migrating things that need migrating, but this is where I will bring in digital tools to assist as-well. I don’t use digital for everything, but only where it is stronger than I am and can be an actual help and not a hindrance.
This is where things become messy because there is not one digital tool out there that fits every need or use case. Be that as it may, I am beginning to feel that I am close to being fully covered when it comes to digital tools. I know where to put things when they need to be put somewhere, and that is a massive accomplishment for me! Lingering things that don’t have a home take up residence in my brain and then I don’t sleep well with so many noisy neighbors banging around up there.
Time to get into the weekend...some work today, hopefully some woodworking tomorrow.
Have a good one!
