This is for other people, of course...

From the National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization (Yeah, I know - there is an organization for the disorganized?) some surprisingly helpful tips we can all use. Some of my favorites from The Time Management Fact Sheet:

4. Schedule the most difficult tasks during your “prime time” when you are at
peak energy level.

5. When planning errands, be realistic about the amount of time each errand
will take. Add at least 15 minutes to the time you think it will take. This way
you will learn not to overschedule and continually work under pressure.

6. Maintain a family message center and a perpetual shopping list.
