I stay organized by putting events in my mobile phone's calendar. I'm good at remembering things but sometimes I tend to forget especially when I have so many things to do on that day. I set all the important events as reminders. This helps me to remember things that I've got planned for the week.
 

I'm different at work though. I am really organize. I don't need any reminders. I make sure I complete all my work before leaving at the end of the day. I kept records of everything because I know that in case I'm not well, someone else who replace me would appreciate having all the information at their fingertips

I use an email reminder service since I'm online practically round the clock which is very handy and usually my trusty old kitchen calendar. I'm not as high tech as you guys.

Oh and my mum, LOL. She reminds me of things coming up because she knows I'm pretty scattered sometimes with a lot on my mind. I know what you mean about nature, diane! My best efforts can go awry because I get  distracted far too easily. I'm working on improving that though. 

It's funny you say you're different at work, Nazreen. I was exactly like you when I worked outside the home - everything was done and in its place, recorded perfectly. I find though with working at home, I'm not nearly as well organized. I think a lot has to do with being physically away from your house. It's not as easy to jump up and throw some laundry in or change the beds when you're miles away!Your focus and mindset is on work alone.

There's too many ways to be distracted in the home if you don't discipline yourself enough and your family to leave you in peace when you're working. I often say to my son he'd not walk into my high street office and start chatting in the middle of my workday, would he? But I can't blame them, I'm as bad at letting myself get sidetracked.

I said the other day I want a cubicle for my Christmas. I was only half kidding LOL. I need to be out of sight to be out of mind to them…

I am seriously considering taking over the spare room but right now, it's got all the things in it I have nowhere else to put. Really I treat it like a glorified closet. And I'd need to move phone lines etc to the other side of the house but I'm tempted. It's small but would be ok. Right now there's one computer in the living room and one in my bedroom but I really think I need somewhere devoted just to that.
