I'm a chaotic organizer. I've decided to let it just happen and stop fighting it with organizing tools. Google calender has helped me significantly, though I don't keep up with it too much. I don't abide by it but I allow it to recommend things that need to be done, if that makes any sense. Ideas are spread all over in singles and duplicates on my computer and on tiny to medium sized pieces of paper. And in other people's brain. Ill say something, forget what I said and have to ask. Medication needed? probably. In the end, I find multiple desks full of my crap. It all still makes sense to me though. I like physically cleaning it all up at the end. It makes everything feel wrapped up and I'm ready for the next thing.
This is stage one. I overtake the conference table.
