Now accepting personal assistant applications (must be willing to work pro bono).
I constantly schedule things that overlap and conflict with each other. This, paired with the fact that I have always felt I would be awesome at being famous, has led me to the conclusion that I need a personal assistant to tell me what I have going on and where I need to be at any given moment. Sure, many times I would just tell her/him to get me out of it for I didn't feel like going, but it would be nice to at least know that I was missing something. In my current situation, I float along completely oblivious to my infraction until it is far too late.
I've tried planners. They suck. I've probably got five planners lying around my room one place or another, all with about a week's worth of shit filled out, all that I lost within a few days of purchasing, or didn't lose but completely forgot they existed. And it's not so much that I forget things. It's more that I can't connect the different things I've got going on. I cannot combine all the different mental calendars into one grand schedule where everything fits together. That's the problem.
For example, I know that I have a test on Monday at 11 o'clock. I also know that I am leaving for Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon to watch the Pirates' home opener on Monday afternoon at 1:35. I didn't forget about either one of them. I just never realized (until tonight) that they conflicted. That that Monday was the same as that Monday. Crazy.
Any takers?
