I have a calendar where I write appointments.
I have a doctor’s appointment that I had to write on the calendar.
I have a physical whiteboard where I write a “to do” list.
A couple days ago, I wrote on my whiteboard: “put doctor’s appointment on the calendar”.
Today I put the doctor’s appointment on the calendar.
I have not yet erased “put doctor’s appointment on the calendar” from the whiteboard. I look at it and feel a little proud that I accomplished something today.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll erase my whiteboard.
Nice. Getting to the doctor can be a challenge, and worth overcoming.
Oh, I actually made the appointment a week ago. The accomplishment was just writing the appointment date on the calendar. Sorry about the confusion.
Are you sure you don’t have ADHD? Being bound in the tethers of schedules and appointments makes me feel a deep unease, driving me to avoid calendars and schedules. That said, to function I desperately need them, so my choice is disquieted ickiness or life catching fire, so yeah, about 70% successful for using calendars.
Are you sure you don’t have ADHD?
Almost certainly! I’m trying out a couple different ways of getting organized: post-it notes, whiteboard, phone apps, notebook pages, calendars, etc. Nothing’s really working yet but I’m not giving up hope.
Can this be an adhd post too?
