I’m not a natural organizer, but I’m starting to appreciate things that help me organize as I get older.

Have any of you run into some sort of widget or gadget or box or even app that you almost brushed off, but then started using it and now it’s the neatest thing ever?

I guess I’m looking for things you almost wrote off as boring-as-shit before you used it and were converted.

    I haven’t missed or been late for an appointment in probably a decade.

    Literally just put it in your calendar and add a notification for enough time ahead of it.

    I also snooze emails instead of letting my inbox clutter. I have an empty email inbox. Those concert tickets will pop into my inbox right around the day of.

    I pre-send texts with a timer. Like if I know I’m driving 5 hrs to see my folks, I’ll pre-send a text for that day that says “on my way, should be there around _____”

    That way all I need to do is update them if something goes wrong.

    Idk, cell phones make being present, available, and on time, really fucking easy. Like I have severe ADHD, if I am always on time and you’re not, you’re fucking up somewhere. Use the tools in your pocket. It’s easy.

      I’ve never heard of pre-sending texts. Is it linked to a specific type of phone?

      (I use Android and never have had an iPhone, so sorry if I’m asking something obvious!)
