Day by day
I for one cannot remember anything. A conversation with me might go like this:
You: Hey Viv, you should come to my party later tonight
Me: Oh okay that sounds fun!
(three minutes pass)
You: So I'll see you later tonight right?
Me: why? what's tonight?
Yup that's my life. Unbeknownst to many of my friends, family, and professors I really do try to rememeber these things as best I can. To combat what I like to call "the goldfish syndrome" (memory being like that of a goldfish which I heard they say is very little like 30 seonds or something) anyway, I have two schedule planners/notebooks.
Number one is a Monthly Planner which allows me to see my upcoming month at a glance. Helpful since time moves so fast, days and weeks go by, and before you know it the month is over (and youv'e yet to go to the gym once like you told yourself you would "this month") maybe that's just me.
The little pink planner (2.5"x4.25") was my solution to my slightly bigger red planner (5.5"x3.5) taking up too much space in my bag/purse. There I jot down daily assignments and reminders for things I have to do. Unfortunatly the red planner I am finding was actually way more functional. The tiny pink one doesn't have any space for jotting down little notes or making lists. The red one has the week on one side and whole free page on the other for random things. I miss my red planner.
