My Day

A symptom of POTS is poor memory and cognitive dysfunction.

Sometimes it feels as if I can't remember to do anything. Basic things, like "shower" or "take meds" or "feed fish"...

So about four years ago I came up with a system that really works for me.

I have my list of things I really need to do today at the top. Then I have "Extras" which are still important things to do, but the world wont end if they don't get done today. 

This system allows me to usually check off most things on my important to do list. If I get to check off things in my "Extras List", even better! I tried to put most things under extra because I always feel more accomplished when I'm able to move on to my "Extras List".  

I often write my list in a gmail draft so I can access it from any computer or phone, but lately I've been using Microsoft OneNote 2007. Now I have multiple tabs of different things that I eventually need to or want to get done. 


I hope this might be helpful for others with POTS who are struggling to remember what they're supposed to in a day.
