@shutterbug, how do you organize your time? I need help with this bad.
Like, do you use an app or something?

About 75% are entries in Google Calendar. It’s set to email me and send notifications to my Samsung phone and watch. About 25% of stuff is now done through the Echo Plus on my desk for work. “Alexa, set reminder to call Fred Johnson…” The stuff that will be done before I leave where I am happens on my Echo with increasing frequence. I also set a lot of new appointments in my calendar through it now. I can just dicate what I need while I’m still typing other stuff at work.
Professionally, I use my Outlook calendar a lot at work. We also have a broker management system I can set tasks in and I use it for those things that would be too onerous to do through Outlook. It’s more work to set a task so I use it only when Outlook won’t do. I’m careful not to put any private work data into my personal calendar or Echo so I don’t contravene legislation.
now if you could get google cook you meals …right… or do your laundry …
@shutterbug Thanks a bunch. I’ll try to wrangle Google Calendar into my routine.
@DrZen No kidding, eh.
I like cooking the meals, but I’d never come home with the right ingredients if I couldn’t dictate a shopping list to my phone! I’ll go out for celery and come back with a full cart … but no celery.
Laundry is phooey. I want disposable clothing.
When I worked in a group home my clothing was ABSOLUTELY disposable. I had a garbage can at my front door for disposing of soiled garments immediately upon returning home, and would only wear free shirts I got in volunteer gigs and $5 basketball shorts from Wal mart.
i useto work in fiberglass running a chopper gun. got it all over. and the cost of work suits was overwhelming and i had a big can in the garage to put them after work.
But seriously…
Like mrsquirell I use google calendar. I also make lists on 3x5 note cards. They’re like $.99 for 100 of them at the drug store
I think the takeaway is use Google Calendar. But I really don’t trust Big Data with my personal deets.
I’m kind of of two worlds about this.
Sticky notes are ok too.
You doing something nefarious?
I don’t think that’s any of Google’s business. No, though.
But maybe according to them. My browsing habits are fairly conservative, and they’re biased as hell. I don’t want to go on a list or something.
This made me lol
I use Google calendar alllll the time and shopping lists are texted to my fiance
Yeah, but not a portable solution.
Not yet, but I like to keep my options open.
i also use google calendar. It works great.
My follow through on the other hand, not so great.
I have an organiser diary (hardback)
I think it’s great to keep a memory of this phase of my life it kind of helps.
Im not planning on chucking it away it goes from middle of this year to end of next year.
Like @shutterbug, I use a form of calendar- but mine is a small coiled binder with all the dates inside.
I also put info about my medical needs as well in it.
