I have learned that if I dont write it down, it is not getting done!!!!! A nice calender with room to write!!!

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I'm horribly embarrassed that I could forget about it. On the bright side, at least we're not alone. I agree, setting up a calender sounds like a good idea. Keep your chin up girl. :)

I always keep a calendar with due dates on it; helps you plan when to work on various projects, and reminds you when it's due. I do this for both work and school.

Yup. I've even taken to using the one that those free email accounts at yahoo provide, and then printing them out and sticking them inside the plastic of the front of my binder. Hard to miss or forget, that way!

I always seem to get into trouble when I make appts for stuff without having my binder around, however.

you're not at all stupid! just really busy! don't get down on yourself because of it. try to learn from it so that you can handle things differently. i have a pda that i keep things together on, but in the past i've found little pocket-sized appointment books used along with a calender to be helpful. honestly, i think getting a pda is solely for plannng a schedule is bit superfluous but it was included in my school's fees for our nursing program (which are exhorbitant) so i use for all it's worth. anyways, don't be sad about it. you've got to keep going and you can't do that if you're beating youself up!
