Today I spent 45 minutes looking for a presentation I'd saved...right on my desktop. Turns out, nothing beats good old-fashioned ADHD blindness. How do you all keep yourselves organized?

Folders folders folders. And for tasks I use the Microsoft to do app on my computer

like

Folders for each project, a folder for proposals, folder for trainings and a folder for coachees. This way, at least I know the general location it should be in

In addition to M1’s comments, use logical file naming and versioning so you can easily search for files in case you can’t find them.

Sounds like me looking for the creamer in the fridge in the morning.

Not only create folders but put them in the same place on the desktop, and have a consistent system for how you file docs, even if that means nesting folders.

I’ll make another post about my file system for anyone interested.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

48/M, average health. Few weeks ago I had a seizure out of the blue. First time ever, no family history. At the hospital given lots of tests: MRI, CT, EKG, EEG, blood/urine/COVID tests.

Have neurologist appointment next month but afraid no one knows why this happened. In the meantime no one wants me to drive a car. Can this happen again? Can anyone relate to this situation?
