Hi @Lythe,
I use a diary mostly effectively. I think when things get busy or stressful all my strategies fall away. If i listed everything i need to remember i might be doing it till next year at this rate. I could start a separate list on my phone to add when i get time.
Ive found with regular things like pills im generally ok because i build it into a routine do its habit. Its sll the random demands, kids appts, my appts, maintenance activities. I work 50 % and find i can focus well but i block everything else out so some days after ive fone appts im really pooped and might not have looked st my todo. Maybe i need a reminder to look at my to do! Life feels busier than ever just doing different stuff.
