Everything always takes me so long to do :/
I’m not sure how this will impact this bowl, but it is worth pointing out the need to assess whether there should be concern for those in this bowl. While we all understand ADHD is something attorneys are completely capable of managing with legal positions, not everyone in the field agrees with that. https://joinfishbowl.com/post_va66ztgmkw

I only get spiral bound planners and leave them open in a spot I can’t miss. It makes it easier not to forget about it!
Personally, I had to reflect on what prevented me from creating the habit of using (insert new planning tool here) before I could find a system that worked. I ultimately realized that as much as I like cute planners, I don’t like having to carry them around everywhere, or writing down lists at the end of every day. I now use my phone calendar/ task app and find it much easier to be consistent

Start with what you currently use, and then upgrade to a better but similar version. I started with sticky notes, I couldn’t go to a written list for some reason. I got virtual sticky notes, used them with great success. Once I got into that habit, I switched to an excel to do list that stays permanently open on its own screen
Thanks for the feedback! Do you capture work and personal to do items in the same list?

Personal items- I’m incredibly fortunate to be married to a type A control freak who is all about calendar entries for every event, and she gives me a written to-do-list every day.
Throughout the day I’ll tell her things we need jointly done and I’ll ask her to remind me of certain items I need personally to-do; both make it on the list along with items she needs me to do.
She’s by no means my assistant, but we’ve found this system works. Things don’t get dropped anymore
My wife is exactly the same, and she definitely helps me out with my organization and not forgetting things. I was hoping to lessen the burden on her. She is more than happy to help, I just feel bad that she has to manage so much
I do this too honestly. So I had to find the best planner that worked for me. Some of them are just far too overwhelming and that causes me to not use it at all.
