been using my phone calendar to plan my days but sometimes I need things to be physical in order to fully retain it, maybe I’m stupid, maybe David foster wallace was right about television. Now I do Cork-Board-Choreo. left side is creative project(s), right side is plans for the following day that I make the night prior. Yeah I could get a daily planner, but this is the first thing I see when I open my eyes in the morning AND it’s colorful AND when I do one of the tasks I can take off the paper and crush it up, honestly that part feels better than actually doing the laundry or buying the groceries or calling my uncle Dan which I still haven’t done. This might be a side effect from watching snl from 1975-present. But it works!

Hello stationary nerds! Being 30 means I spent my school years using a notebook planner for assignments and reminders but since college I've been using apps for calendars+tasks.
But last week the revelation came out of nowhere (that's a lie, my wife suggested I needed something more tangible to organize my chaotic brain) and I've never felt more relieved since I got this whiteboard. She specifically recommended this one which allows me to have long-term projects/reminders on the right and pin cute polaroids in the cork section below.
BONUS: Tiny tab post-its & ultra-fine coloured markers. Tabs for categorizing and be able to move things around without having to erase something constantly. Ultra-fine markers to write more things in small spaces. 0.7mm is what I'm using.
Have fun!!

where every sunday night i plan the week ahead and write evrything. As you said, help me have a better grasp of time, also i dont forget things anymore as i see what i have to do every morning every night. The calender app on my phone is not complete enough and the fact that i have to go search for it, i don't know i don't like it and my brain doesn't seem to get used to planning thing on my phone. I only had it for a few month and it surprisingly made my life so much better

the shortage/me feeling like normal spongebob on adhd meds had me set up a whole system otherwise i would be a hot mess
handwritten paper planner - pref one with a weekly timeline because i love seeing it laid out in full. this is 50% me just wanting to decorate and use fun stationary and 50% knowing if i dont write it down/see it laid out- i will forget </3
digital calendar/reminders - for the big stuff!! Anything reoccurring that may slip my mind, color coded based on whats going on ie, work shifts, reoccurring plans w friends, personal time for hobbies, i also have a bunch of reminders that try to get me to sleep/keep me on track and its been the best, i luv that includes travel time too and will remind me 15-30 mins in advance of when i need to leave bc i love to get wrapped up/ lose track of time and run out of the door

It’s what my basket is for, if it breaks then I’ll just die it’s not that serious. I don’t even have that many eggs to begin with. I grew up in a single-egg-basket-household, who are these people with multiple egg baskets, do they walk among us?

I feel like I’ve picked up so much good music by just instantly downloading an opening act’s album right after their set. Just saw Wishy at baby’s all right last night and they had a band called Plastic open up, tight band & tight name, I’m sold. I feel like too many people skip the opener and I get it it can get tiring but I already know I’m gonna like the headliner lemme get a nice little surprise. this has GOT to be my last music rec for a little bit…
