Right. I need help in getting organised.

I can manage to run a certain number of things at once, and I'm not going to guess a number, becasue I'd only keep remembering things I'd forgotten, and end up with more footnotes than body, sounding like the Spanish Inquisition.

Having said that, I'm managing to keep tabs on what I'm eating at the moment¹ and to go to the gym², I'm slowly catching up on the massed piles of Stuff lying around the house, and I'm doing the washing up before I run out of forks³.

I'm not remembering appointments, which I was before adding in the food bit. I forgot my therapy session tonight, which is more annoying because Sue charges for missed appointments (quite reasonably), and I persistently forget to renew my prescription before the last minute, which leaves me having to ask for it to be rushed through the GP's surgery. I do have a diary, and usually remember to write things in it, but it's bloody huge and I still forget to check whether I have anything written in it. I have loads of things I need to get around to doing (such as pay the water bill before it goes to a debt collection agency again, and write more things for Oversteer) but I get home and then it's bedtime, and I haven't even had the energy to think about getting anything done.

Yes, today at work was dreadful. And I've ended up with a number of footnotes anyway, despite my best intentions. Bother.

Doctors sometimes do an automatic repeat prescription generating service, and water companies can be made to do direct debits without behaving like ntl. There's two things, anyway.

Not my quote, but it's true for me anyway:

"I've outsourced my memory. The future to my Palm PDA, and the past to LiveJournal."

I know how you feel. I wrote a set of PIM apps for my PDA once, with some special bits in to suit the way my brain [doesn't] organise things.

They don't work on my latest PDA, so nothing gets done anymore.

This is possibly the most awful thing I've ever asked anyone, but what software do they use?

you could try putting stuff in your phone if it has automated alarms.

And if you can't do the Michael stuff let me know and I'll find someone else... I never wanted to land you with it - it just sort of made sense at the time when you offered to help.
