To Do Lists, Remembering, Note Taking OH My!! Any suggestions on methods, apps, or planners?!

I struggle so hard with this and need a paper and electronic method. I take wayyyy too many screenshots, bookmark too much, take notes various ways on my phone, and beyond but fail to do right by getting back to it all...in any ONE PLACE. It's seemingly unmanageable.

I fail hard at writing it down from my phone but that's how I usually come across things. That "TO DO LIST" as well....so overwhelming and I don't know how to make it right...or do it well 😳. A visual method would likely be best!??

  1. My smartphone is the only thing that has ever worked effectively.

  3. As I read these i am laughing,,,,,,,,,,,,,, MY PEOPLE!!!!!!!! just hearing others stories and struggles is sooooooo healing!!!

  4. I have to write EVERYTHING down. I have narcolepsy as well as sleep apnea both of which have brain fog. I literally forget everything right down to what I did 10 minutes ago. It's so frustrating. Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting early onset dementia which scares the hell out of me.

    2. you are not alone. I have Narcolepsy, Sleep apnea & use a C-pap machine. I also have Fibromyalgia & Type 2 Diabetes; along with a myriad of about 17 other conditions. These "Top 4" as you know ALL cause brain fog...not in quotes...because it's REAL & Horrid. I use my phone to make check lists, make sure I put all appointments on my calendar with a 1 day until then a 2 hrs before so I remember and set an alarm before. Either to sleep more or shower. Ugh. And the shower uses a lot of energy or "Spoons" in fibromyalgia vernacular. LOL! You can look that up if you like.
      Anywho... You are not alone!
