Be more organised

I have a number of websites I use on a semi-regular basis and most of the sites do what I want but then there are always other really useful sites out there so I should check out more and I noticed someone had a cool goal which had lots of good websites listed so I’ll probably have a look through when I have time and see which woul be useful to me.

since my last entry although that was 2 years ago, after things going badly in Australia I picked myself up again and have shaken off the tenderness, now I have a new phone whcih allows me to uset he calender function so I can almost always keep track of the things I have to do and include reminders, I also use Outlook at work a lot and things are going pretty good.

I have been getting back into making lists and most importantly reviewing and crossing off what is done then making a new list. I often have a problem stressing over how many things I have to do when really when I get the list done some of the things are not urgent and others are not important. I have sadly managed to lose my Australian cheque book – perhaps I left it in the UK where it will never get used.

I have started making lists again whcih is something I started doing a long time ago. I used to just remember the things I had to do and by thinking about them again and again during the day I would have no trouble remembering, but then I started havinga ll these ideas I wanted to write down and I found as I was thinking them I would already forget and on top of that as I got older I had more things to do so I started writing lists and ideas on scraps of paper and then crossing them off and transferring teh stuff I hadn’t done to a new scrap, well now I’ve started doing that again only this time I’m prioritising them as well so that I try my hardest to get the top priorities done and its working so far although its only been 3 days.

in the last week or so I’ve lost my bank card, my address book and now today i found out that after 10 years my hotmail email address is gone because i didn’t sign in for 30 days. But then I was able to get money during the week, I have most of my addresses backed up on disc and my hotmail account got only junk mail although I did lose some old messages i wante to keep they were all 2 years old or older so maybe I should be focusing on the positives.

at this big time recently, first I almost lost my keys and decided to get them copied then a few days later I locked myself out and still hadn’t got my keys cut. Then I left my bike pump out of my bag for a couple of days and got a flat tyre and recently I changed my battery in my mp3 player and didn’t replace my spare and then the other one ran out of battery so I had no music for the trip.

Ok this may seem really anal but as I’m travelling I only have so much stuff and so that I can be better organised (have clean underwear when I need it) I’ve already started listing all the things I have which will also help me throw out things if I need to lose weight or gain space.

Which will be really useful while I travel
