re: re: PMS: What kind of planner do you use? |

Hey everybody:
I found that there's one major thing missing from all planner/PDA systems in the task list and that is a TIME estimator.
As ADDers, we tend to put way too many tasks on a list, expecting them to get done because "they don't take that long".
I've found that whatever system I use, (like many of you, I've got a modified paper planner and a PDA because I have employees that keep my schedule), it's the task list that gets me bogged down the most.
So here's a simple solution and a great skill to start working on:
1. Next to each task you have to do for the day, put an estimated amount of time.
2. Add up the time allotment for the day.
3. Ask yourself "is there enough time in my day to accomplish this task?
You'll realize very quickly that the "normal" person can't do all the things you have written down, and neither can you. The anxiety can go away when you become more realistic about time.
