Keep my "To Do List" updated

two words – palm pilot!

I’ve been doing this pretty consistently since I added this goal, but since my job situation changed dramatically and I am having to juggle two locations, three positions and one to two employers (it’s complicated), I have to keep organized OR ELSE.

So, some things that have helped me:

• Google calendar: Being that I have two cubicles in two offices on two separate mail systems, sharing my calendar on an Exchange server hasn’t made much sense. So instead I keep a Google calendar which is very easy to maintain, and I can share (or not share) the private URL with anyone I choose. My times in and out of the office(s) are always clear, as well as things like doctor appointments, concerts, etc.
• Outlook tasks: I keep my tasks in Outlook. It’s complicated, but I VPN into Outlook at my primary office to get mail, so I keep my tasks (and therefore, reminders) there. It works okay, and I can categorize, do whatever I need just fine.
• Excel-based Action Items: I have to fill out Action Items each week for my supervisor at my primary office. Those are based on the aforementioned tasks. I true up everything each week.
• Post-it notes/Sharpies: I use bright, ruled stickies for important things that need to get done TODAY or absolutely first thing in the morning. They become the first thing I see in the morning. I crumple them up and throw away when done, and mark the task “complete” in Outlook.

It’s a complicated system, but for now it works just fine. It will need to change when/if my projects become milestone-based, which is entirely likely…

OMG… thank god I can keep doing this. That way I get things done because if I don’t write it down, I won’t get it done!

i’ve started entering everything into iCal. i’ll consider this done when i do this consistently for one month.

all the details are there!

okay i am removeing this from my list now
I have a list thing i can keep it updated it’s just doing what is on the list that i have a hard time with!!

Well google helps me out with al ot of stuff!
The calendar is GREAT.. i have used it for a while but i should get back with it!~ i put plans, food, chorse, and personal to do lists on each day and well it’s smoking! but i do need to get back into!
I just added a thing to my list wright a todo list everynight and do it the next day!
i love wrighting the list out! I will re right it over and over again! then a week later it needs reviesed.. so in less words i never put action on them!!!
that’s got to change!
so if i do a list before bed and keep it small and do that list the next day! well that will be my progress.

I think I have to give up this “Things”. I had tried my best to up date my To Do list everyday, made it narrow. But it did not work. Only one or two items that I had worked it out. The others … “gone with the wind”.

The problem is not about made the List but disciplined myself to up dated it everyday and work on it.

:) ... Long way to go … I’ll find another way to prioritize my things to do….

It’s been 3 days after I told myself to start updating my To Do List, but nothing happened.

1st, I forgot because I was in hurry to my English course.

2nd, I could not make it, because I had to left my home early at 05.30 am to attend my yoga class (another things that listed)

3rd, I promised myself to updated at night, but I fell asleep because I was exhausted.

4th, I forgot to updated in the morning, because my new gold fish that I bought died, and my louhan fish was mad because he was hungry.

And now…I’m in the middle of thinking to put it as “don’t think that it is worth to do”.

But since my other tag is “arrogant”, then I don’t want to see myself failed of doing that simple things.

I also have another tag that given by my closest friend, “impulsive”, the tag that always drag me from doing something that need a discipline.

Why I can’t beat that “impulsive” tag of myself ?

Failed again !

It’s always like this, it’s only work for 1 week. I never succeed in updating my “To Do List”. The more I tried the more I failed…

Anyway…I have to give myself a 2nd chance (the other 2nd chance for almost 4 years…)...

I don’t want to give up…not this time…
