Usually I am fairly good at scheduling, but over the past couple of months, my schedule has controlled me, rather than the other way around. I truly need to get a handle on it. Thanks! I miss you and your family! Tracy Gorman Billy,

I love organizing shows and books and all that stuff, but a lot of it is like..."Here's THE DAO of organizing. All other ways are failures." But the problem is that everyone is motivated differently, and everyone thinks differently. So, what works for one person doesn't work for someone else. Keeping general principles is good, but the specific application needs to be personal, like what you said about scheduling work for your most productive times, even if that's not the typical 8-5 day. My personal organizing "thing" is color-coding. I <strong>love</strong> color coding. It looks nice to me, and having something be pretty is a motivator for me actually using a system. This also works for me because color-coding is a quick reference for me. This is getting long. I see why you made your own post about this!

I tend to write absolutely everything down, and categorise it all. I then focus on some of the "quick wins" that can reduce the size of the list. I then prioritise the remaining ones and focus on higher needs first. Sometimes saying no is exactly the right thing to do. Billy, some great ideas in there.
