Filled pill minder. Refrigerated the pot of tea because I realized I'd be foolish to have the rest of it at 4 pm. Wrote on a large pad of paper things I need to make or buy, and things to put in the car. In case anyone else has trouble keeping track of what all needs to be done for a few events in a short period of time, here's the outline of what I did on paper:
| DECIDE (when) | BUY (when) | DO (when) | PUT IN CAR (when) | Activity 1 | NA | NA | Shower (tonight) | Water bottle (morning) | Activity 2 | NA | NA | Text her (Sun am) | Borrowed items (tonight) | Book club | Menu; cook or buy? | Food, plates | Cook; vac car (Sun) | Book, food, plates (Mon am) |
I have many more rows for these three events, but you get the idea. Writing this out really has helped me organize my thinking, and especially has made it clear that I must quickly decide on the menu, because so much hinges on that. Also, darn it, book club will meet early afternoon from now on, and I'm used to 7 pm. The person I'm giving a ride to is depending on my remembering! Rake leaves. Spend 20 minutes on coffee table papers. Tonight: Shower so that tomorrow morning runs smoother than it would otherwise. Re the above table: Highlight with different colors the various times I must do stuff.
Go for a walk. Put things in the car for tomorrow.

goldenthreads I have been keeping an old project planner that I half-hoped I could re-purpose. What you've done gives me an idea.

Good work, everybody! Glad you can find a use for the table, missjean . Went for a short walk. Raked leaves in back yard for 10 minutes. Highlighted my events table with different colors for the various time periods. Put away the dishes. Put things in the car for tomorrow. Washed a few more dishes. Spend 20 minutes on coffee table papers. Shower so that tomorrow morning runs smoother than it would otherwise. Do some pedaling in lieu of walking. Decide on book club menu. Lay out clothes for tomorrow. I said I wouldn't write this here again, because I would be changing my ways, but--sorry--READ A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BOOK TONIGHT AND TOMORROW! (Meeting is Monday.)

Laid out clothes for tomorrow. Pedaled in lieu of walking. Got ready for bed. Tomorrow: Spend 40 minutes on coffee table papers. Decide on book club menu. Shower late for a better tomorrow morning. Just remembered that I showered recently and this is not necessary. I said I wouldn't write this here again, because I would be changing my ways, but--sorry--READ A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE BOOK TOMORROW! (Meeting is Monday.)
