(Sorry, I thought I had actually copied and pasted the web site but...well...you know)
I have this on the back of my front door.
Since my brain is not what it use to be...this helps.
Thought I would pass it on

Any other suggestions for adjustments that you have come up with??

i live by lists-everyday
i set my phone to tell me to eat and take meds
i store stuff in baskets on shelves or in piles on shelves where i can see...or i can't find
i try to have a place for everything and put it there but i am not so good at that...pain and fatigue get in the way...but when i do it i feel so much better
i have lots of bills paid online and check auto deposited
thats a start
i've got the dry erase board too!

It helps to not have a brain to adjust!!! I gave mine away years ago!!!

I also live by lists but then I'm always losing them.
I try to have a place for everything so I know where to find it.
I have dry erase boards around the main house. Little ones on the fridge that have the kids med scheduals on it as well as any other things like grocery items needed and such.
I have calendars in several places around the house with my schedualed appointments on them because recently I've been forgetting them. This way I can see them around as well as my husband can.
I have a daily/weekly pill box for all my meds.

Post it notes! You have to buy the more expensive ones though. They stick to anything!

I have many notes to myself. I prefer to keep them all on one sheet of paper but sometimes they add up. I love to cross things off as they get done.
When the pile of notes gets too big, I write myself a note to condense my notes. Posted by kam (Member # 3410) on :
The list thing just doesn't work like it did before lyme for me.
I have a white board in my bedroom with list, a list on my I google account and when I am doing well, I make a list on the notepad next to my chair.
The list thing only works for me when I am doing well enough to follow through on the list.
The brain thinks in pieces now or parts.
I also use to be very organized....but am only organized now when I am well enough to do so.
It makes life so much more do able if things are in place.

I have to write things down now...Hate it.
At times I start to write and forget what to put on paper. very frustrating.
Now My honey will call and remind me to do things, and then I have to repeat them back like i am 2 years old. I also zone out until I hear"ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"

You know, I could put those sticky notes all over my forehead... I am constantly using the bathroom... I might would see them in the mirror and have to pull them off to read.
Posted by sutherngrl (Member # 16270) on :
MDW, I put them on my bathroom mirror all the time.
Even on the back door, to remember why I am leaving the house. Can pull them off when I'm heading out the door and take with me.
Sometimes I forget to look at them though.
Even though my brain fog has improved, my brain is nowhere close to what it use to be.
