    How Organised Are You?

    While on my train journey in the morning, I often have a nose at what the person next to me is up to on their laptop and
    I am astounded at how organised people are with their schedulers and spreadsheets etc. The girl next to me this morning seemed
    to be micromanaging every aspect of her life - not just work but personal stuff too. I notice that she has this weekend down as attending the "Ocean Festival" (wherever that may be), a visit to the hairdressers on Tuesday and an evening at the theatre Thursday. Once you've added in all her work schedules too it really was a kaleidoscope of different colours. It left me asking what sort of a person is this? Dull? Well she seems to have a social life so perhaps not dull but I'll bet she's a control freak. God, if she menages her own life like that, just imagine what working for her would be like!

    Mostly the people who do that are the less organised ones who need all the help they can get.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        FWIW I am obsessed with lists and being as organised as possible.

        I would also not be adverse to kicking the bloke nosing at my lists on the train.

          It gets worse... I have to create notes and lists because my senility is getting so bad that I can't remember or organise myself to get things done.
          How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            My phone uses Exchange to auto-sync with my laptop etc. If it isn't in my phone I'll forget it, simples.

            Therefore my phone has everything that I need to remember in it and if that gets lost then thanks to exchange I can get it elsewhere very easily.

              I am extremely organized. I keep lists for everything.

              Yours is right on top of one list......

                  Yup, that's me.

                  If I don't write it down somewhere it gets forgotten.
