organizational strategies | ADHD Information
Hey,29 ADHD, 50mg Vyvanse, currently 2 semesters away from getting teaching certification in secondary English/Special Ed.
So, this semester I learned a valuable lesson: I have to be organized from day one otherwise, it's an uphill battle come November/December.
I've had limited success with calenders and day planners; I've never used a PDA for fear that I'll get lazy with it. A friend suggested an iPhone as a feasible option (the fact that it is a phone increases the likelihood I'll remember to carry it).
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Well, whatever you decide on,
make sure you figure out how to use it.
I take notes and make appointments, but forget to back to them.
All the sticky notes on the fridge look alike, now.

I think what you're talking about isn't just schedules--it's getting term papers etc in on time.
I used to use a honkin' huge erasable 4 month wall calender with the deadlines marked in red and the task breakdowns in green. [Eg paper due Dec1. Research for paper Nov 22-23]
Don't worry about anyone thinking your lazy for using time tricks. Worry about what YOU want to accomplish

I use a Treo 700w. Any of the smart phone type devices (blackberry, iphone) etc would work. My Treo is tough. I've dropped it numerous times and it keeps on working.[QUOTE=rayray812x]espresso 54mgconcerta

I'm getting one ASAP! I can back up my work life, home life and appointments. I can set alarms and email myself things if I need to, the only problem being I will look like one of those business men with nothing better to do than fiddle with their blackberrys! heh. Never mind.
I would agree, blckberry and whiteboards!!
