Читать книгу NORMAL Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Barb BSL Owen - Страница 21

Write things down. Write everything down. Make lists… lots of them. If you think that you will remember, I can absolutely confirm that you will not. I say that not to discourage you but to give you a preview of the complexity of managing the life of someone else, as well as your own. The line between the two fades and keeping track of even the most basic activities may become impossible to keep inside your head.

Decide where you will write your lists. If you don’t decide, scraps of paper take over your life. You may not notice that life has filled to the overflow, until one fateful moment when you can’t find what you need. Failing to retrieve the right scrap of paper containing a bit of vital information, can melt you into a puddle of frustration in the middle of the scraps. Even if it’s right in front of you, don’t count on being able to see it.

The answer? Get yourself a snazzy organizer notebook where you can write everything. It needs to be snazzy so you can find it easily. And it needs to be something that you can grab quickly with one hand. Multi-tasking becomes a familiar way of existence and your list-containing notebook just might save your sanity.

Take a moment.

Get an organizer. Do it NOW!
