louby loo Posted yesterday at 10:38 Posted yesterday at 10:38 Well, I think CH must have picked up on all my failed attempts yesterday - as this morning I have had an email with 'step-by-step' instructions! 😂 I have decided not to do a 'list' today, as I'm really liked the 'timetable' idea instead. I just need to do something to keep the brain more focused- but still actually using it to remember to do things without visual prompts! 😂 x 2 Quote

I just need to do something to keep the brain more focused- but still actually using it to remember to do things without visual prompts! 😂 x My timetables aren't detailed - I just split the day into 1/2 or 1 hour chunks and allocate a task or two to that slot. I've found that planning to do the same thing for more than 2 hours inevitably fails but I give my permission to stop after the allocated time even if the task isn't completely finished and I make sure that I plan in 'down time' too. So the other day I had something like 11 - 1.00 sort spare room, 1.00 - 2.00 lunch/reading, 3.00 - 4.00 ironing/tidy living room etc. Sometimes if I'm really procrastinating I set my timer for 15 minutes and just do a task for that long.

Mainly because I'm not really on Facebook and the whole idea intimidates me!! 😆 I just accidentally discovered an old episode of Bake Off where they were making Viennese whirls - now I want to bake something... 2 Quote

Ah thanks - we are fine - off overnight but back on this morning - will see what happens next - we have developed a really odd approach to this, just resignation i suppose... I had my hair cut this morning, my lovely hairdresser works from her home in the village - she has had water leak outside her house for at least six weeks - when I went in I said "see you've still got your water feature then" - she replied "they have been out and given it a poke, several times, but that's as far as it goes" - beggars belief really Are your 'Kent family' having problems where they are?
