Day planner/organizer  

 

Hi, Can anyone suggest a good day planner/organizer.  I have searched everywhere but I can't seem to find one that is specific enough for me.  I have found some really great ones that cover the entire family but I need one for just one person that goes hour by hour instead of week by week.

 

Thanks

Joslyn

Are you looking for a paper one or an electronic one?

 

Both?  This sounds interesting.  Hope you don't mind me "thread dipping"!

LOL, dont mind at all! 

I am looking for a paper organizer, I was thinking about an electric one, I found one by sharp that was pretty good but to be honest, I tend to lose things.

Thanks

I use a "Planner Pad." (that is, when I discipline
Confusedmyself.) Its 'upside pyramid' structure helps me to 'see' what I need to do Smileand prioritize when to do what. My therapist turned me onto it. She uses it, as well.

Ohhh, that is perfect, Its exactly what I have been searching for.  Thank you sooo much!!! 

glad to help out.

That's a big help to me too Davinci. I'm loving this forum. You can't get direct help like this anywhere else. Thanks again.

I am happy to offer anything I think that can help make life run more smoothly.

RE: "You can't get direct help like this anywhere else.."

After reading this, I realized that I am much more inclined to respond to people on this message board than I am to people in my "real" life. This message board is more pertinent to my needs, such as understanding. I usually do not need much...Wait, that is not true! I think this was wishful writing. I ALWAYS WANT TO BE UNDERSTOOD, maybe because I HAVE FELT SO MISUNDERSTOOD MY WHOLE LIFE.
I DO...BLAH...BLAH...BLAH...LET['S BRING OUT THE VIOLINS."

BACK TO WHAT I HAD ORGINALLY WANTED TO SAY. I AGREE WITH YOU PIETA PAN. RESPONSES, IDEAS AND ANSWERS, SUGGESTIONS AND QUESTIONS SEEM TO COME MORE QUICKLY ON THIS BOARD THAN IN THE REAL WORLD. MOST OF THE REPLIES ARE VALIDATING. I NEED VALIDATION, TOO.  I AM  DEFINITELY WORKING ON VALIDATING MYSELF (WHICH IS AN UPHILL BATTLE--I AM WEARING HIKING BOOTS AND HAVE A LOT SUPPLIES), INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR (AND DEPENDING ON) OTHERS TO PUMP IT INTO ME LIKE A DRUG
EASING THE ALL THE PAIN AND CRISIS WHICH, IN MY OPINION, IS ALL AROUND US---AND SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES?, INSIDE OF ME RUNNING RAMPANT THOUGH MY VEINS.

PIETA, THIS IS EMBARASSING FOR ME,  BUT, DID i EVER RESOND TO YOU ABOUT YOUR JOB? I HAVE FORGOT WHETHER I SPOKE TO Y OU OR NOT. HONESTLY, I DO NOT REMEMBER. I MUST CHECK.

wOW! Talk about being ethnocentric.... I just began to wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Then i remembered--hey, not everyone in the  world is from the US.

unitl we meet again,
davinci



Hi again Davinci. I dont know if you responded about my job cos I cant remember where I wrote about it

Im afraid I'm a shocker for needing constant reassurance and I always seem to need someone, nay anyone to validate just about everything I do. It's a real pain and I hate doing it. I come across as a very confident person but the people who really know me can find me a bit draining. They seem to think I just want attension but I really just want to get things right and not upset anyone.

Sorry started to ramble then and now I have to read back up the top cos I've forgotten where this started I even amaze myself at times.

Oh that's right, Thanksgiving. You can wish me a good Thanksgiving, I give my best friend a Christmas present every year and she's a buddist

 

 

I wonder if this should be on some other message thread

The colors of course are mine.
I had to emphasize the exact words that
freaked me out. I could have written or said these words verbatim a million times before now.

This week was not the best for me in the classroom. My reaction to a situation was a clear OVER REACTION. Again, I found myself plummeting down that ancient, well-worn path of self-admonishment. Hating myselfAngry for being so 'sensitive and reactionary' and just plain selfish, followed by middle name, tactless. Out of control. I was not a raving maniac as I had been for so much of my life.

DO YOU DO THIS UP DOWN CYCLING SO OFTEN, ONCE A DAY IF NOT TWICE? DID YOU MENTION SOMEONE HAD DIAGNOSED YOU AS BEING MILDLY BIPOLAR DISORDER?

 As I was saying what I knew I would be l be sorry about later, that tiny rational part of my brain gave out, just couldn't stay afloat any longer in that alphabet soup of biochemicals-- hormones and  neurotransmitters. It finally confesses under duress: Oh the heck with self-restraint, let it rip, I must express how I feel. As you can see, my ‘self’ can become very obsessed with myself. All that was important in the whole universe was for me to say what I saying. Wow, I am so full of myself. All I wanted was a little respect and recognition This ALL TOO common  mask of bravado temporarily obliterated any self-control and discipline that had previous hung on so tenaciously since the last ‘situation.’

Now getting back to what I had originally wanted to say way back when, I HAVE been trying to rely on my on myself for validation. Trying not to give a d—nabout what others think. I cannot control others, what they say and do, think or feel. I can only control my own tongue and mind. It just takes a loooooong time, at least for me, keep this a imporant piece of information alive. And the end is nowhere in sight. At least, it wasn’t yesterday. Today, my glasses are little less foggy.

Davinci

PS
HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!
