Apparently in order to make life more manageble for people with ADD (AD/HD) one need's to have a day planner in either electric or handwritten form. Not only do they need this they need to become a slave to it. Now, I don't know about you, but I live in the United States of America and slavery was abolished in the late 1800's.
OK, I'm being a tad melodramatic here but the past month I've begun to hate my "little Life saver." I write in it but fail to look at it.
I see people without ADD use these things and seem to get along fine. But I've begun to resent the NEED to use one to maintain any sense of calm and order in my life. Just being able to acknowledge those facts brings on a mild sense of freedom. But - it's probably a false sense. You see, my lovely red leather covered Planner Pad does in fact keep me semi organized. There are still things left undone each day and carried over to the next but they are there in black and white and will get done eventually.
The resentment lies in the fact that those things that don't get done keep nagging me and then I feel like I've not accomplished anything.
I guess I need to be a little kinder to myself and just keep plodding along until there is less that get's carried over to the next day or week or month.
Maybe "be kind to yourself" should be a task on my to do list...
