I keep a dumb amount of notes in Evernote. When I’m out and someone tells me about something cool, I often put it there, but when it’s something really good I drop the link in my calendar for a time when I know I’ll be more idle. Helps me tons with keeping my circle full.

I put reminders into my phone for a notification of the exact time I need to remember the thing. For example, if on Friday I need to swing by the store and pick something up before work, I will put a notification into my calendar to remind me before I head out the door. If someone communicates something I need to remember later that day, or a week from now, or a month from now, I just treat myself like I won’t remember and put it in the calendar right then and there. This is really, really helpful if you have ADHD, btw.
Usually I actually do remember, but there are times where I don’t and I’m glad that I have the back up reminder. I shared with a friend how I do this and she was blown away, so I thought I would share this little tip that might make your life easier!

I've tried using todo lists (physical and apps) but, as soon as they're not in front of my face, I forget about them. Lately I've been putting Everything in my calendar app. I have a widget on my phone home screen that tells me what's next so I always see it and regularly tap it to see what's on the day and the rest of the week.
It's not just appointments. I'm also putting tasks and reminders on there which are typically "todo" list things. Centralized, just a glance away.
It's also becoming an aid for journaling? I'm putting in shit just to remind myself what I've done socially and privately throughout the week.

I keep a Google Calendar. Yoga class on Saturday, the same yoga class I’ve been going to for 2 years? Yeah, it’s there. FaceTime with a friend? Yup. Last minute dinner with my cousin? I’m adding it to my calendar as I’m walking into the restaurant. I’ll go back and add an event or outing after the fact. I don’t care. I want to track my silly little wonderful life. Maybe I am this way because my mother still keeps a calendar filled with appointments and activities and schedules on the fridge.

It’s a national treasure and they’ve raised over $4 million dollars for AIDS research and prevention. And the place is stupid fun. Great replacement for big box, Amazon, Shein or Temu type outlets if you’re near Philly.

Wonder why developers get everything they want? Realtors association of America is the #2 lobbying organization in the US. Why do pharmas get away with so much? #3 is Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America. #1 is Chamber of Commerce so business holds the biggest seat at the table. Dunno if this is considered conspiracy theory or conspiracy fact.

You grow a tall thing like corn, you grow a climbing thing like pole beans that uses the tall thing like a trellis then you grow a squash that is low with big leaves that serve as shade and protection for the other two. It’s an indigenous practice, so traditionally it’s done with corn, but I’m very curious about adapting it to quinoa or sorghum.
