Hi All, This is my first post, so I hope it's helpful :) On the topic of being organized, I have come to be a lot like Devon in that I have a detailed calendar, I keep up with all communications, and I panic internally if I feel like I am getting behind on this as a trigger to spend time getting it caught back up. What worked for me is having it handy, so my calendar with all assignments is on my phone, and so is my communication access (emails, texts, etc.). It takes trial and error to figure out what works for each individual, so don't beat yourself up if something isn't working. Instead, ask yourself why it's not working and what would make it better. Maybe you need visual reminders, so lots of alarms on your calendar as a heads up; or maybe you are better with paper and pencil versus electronic; or you haven't found the right tools to fit your personality and need to try new ones. Whatever it is, don't give up until you master your organization methods for yourself - it's a small journey so get started! These will become habits after awhile, and therefore easier. So be kind and supportive to yourself during the investigative period, then be motivating and firm to make these steps new habits and they will save your rear in the future. Persevere!
