Any body used skoach? skoach.com/Obviously it's promise to organise me/sort my life out appeals a great deal but it's a 14 day free trial before you have to pay out and, from past experience, I know I would become obsessed with it for about 15-17 days before it went the way of google calendar. Hmmmm not sure but if anybody else has reccommendations then I might give it a go. Ta, Audrey

woah this seems way too crowded for me! Generally probably a good idea because ADHDers have issues with relating to time but it would probably make me futz around with it way to much (hello, hyperfocus) instead of actually being useful to me.
I'm a heavy google user so google calendar actually ties in very well with my android devices. In fact, it's the only thing that's ever worked for me because I will always have it with me in some form. Paper planners are useless to me.
I will also send links and reminders to myself via gmail and I've decided to give followupthen a try as well.
I still have to learn to schedule more time than I think I need but the meds are sort of beginning to help with that.

I keep it as simple as possible - put everything in my phone and let it ping at me when I need to do stg. I'd go bonkers with all that stuff - looks too much like work

that looks great, now i just need to employ a PA to keep it up to date audrey, i think if you have the tendency to obsess for short bursts and then leave said thing to gather dust (haha cant belive that of an adhder), i think this would probably fall into that category, as the novelty factor is there, but then the upkeep of it i think would be far too bothersome to much faff me thinks (well for me it would be anyway )

audrey, i think if you have the tendency to obsess for short bursts and then leave said thing to gather dust Hmm - that is me to. I start using tools then decide they get too much. I have about 20 items on Google task (which connects to Astrid on my phone) that have been on them for months. I have very mixed feelings about alarms. One just went of to tell me to finish clearning the toilet ..... They always go off when I am actaully focusing on something and don't want to be distracted. Worst is Outlook that takes the focus (in computer sense) away from the window you were using and you loose focus..... Go and clean the loo....

I had a short obsession with Personal Brain because it seemed to suit the rambling tangents of my brain, and I still use it when I can remember, but my obsession lasted a week. I still think it's really good though for organising things. It doesn't do alarms, however. www.thebrain.com/products/personalbrain/The only tool that I still use consistently and have never given up on is spreeder which helps me to read quickly and stops me drifting off in the first line of a document. www.spreeder.comSx
