Based on a post I did last week, Time, I decided that I would try and improve my time management skill, and post about my progress.
I have not had to be on a schedule since I posted that, except for keeping up with my counseling appointments. In an effort to not miss anymore of my counseling appointments due to my forgetfulness, I posted this weeks appointment time in several locations. Even with doing all that, I still got it in my head that my appointment was today, and it really is tomorrow. My notes are all correct, it is just the information in my brain that is wrong. Oh well, at least I caught the error before I showed up at my counselor’s office today, the wrong day.
Despite that, I do think I am doing better. I put reminders up to make sure I remember to post this, and also a reminder for the Thankful Five post I did yesterday. Small steps. As long as I am moving forward that is all that matters.
Thank goodness for technology… though I still have sticky notes stuck to damn near everything in different colours and pens and markers… if we still had to use pocket notebooks for stuff like this, I'd be screwed cuz I'd lose it LOL!

I'm the same, very forgetful when I'm struggling MH wise. The way I get round it is having a calendar on my wall, a filofax that's always with me and my Blackberry which syncs to my google calendar. Everyday when I get home I transfer dates/times that I put in my filofax onto my calendar and my google calendar so my phone reminds me of them. It's complicated and time consuming but it means I get an email an hour before any appointment and an alarm 10 minutes before!
