So I am fairly good at remembering things, but there are definitely times when things completely escape me and today was one of those days. I forgot about a very important meeting that I have coming up and had to re-arrange dinner plans and my hubby said “You need an assistant!” And I am thinking “OMG – Yes! you finally understand me”
My days are filled with uncertainty, I work on so many different projects and in so many different co-working offices spaces, local cafes to my balcony, that I can easily forget which way is up from time to time.
During life coaching, I found that one thing that was consistent for me, was that I NEED a way to organize. I need something static to go with my fluid and often fluctuating ways. I am forever on the look out for a perfect agenda, I have never found one that will do everything I want. I spend time every year trying to design one and then I always succumb to something less than sufficient and then stop using it and start using my Google Calendar and then flip flop for the rest of the year. I need something that is a hybrid between a journal, an agenda, a planner, a creative brainstorming tool, a project organizer and it has to be personalize-able so that I don’t feel confined and restricted. I feel like I am on an endless search for something to anchor me, but also to let my creativity flow out in a productive and function way…is that asking too much?
But really an assistant isn’t going to do it, so onward with the crusade.
