Ok...so, I have ADD...I admit it. One of the issues I used to have was always being late, not scheduling enough time (this was years ago - before I found medication). One of the ways I found to compensate for this, was to strictly schedule extra time before an event or appointment.

This strategy was nearly flawless until this weekend. For those that didnt know, I have been studying for an industry certification exam. As part of my preparation for the exam (which is on the 19th of April), I arranged to attend an intense training program the week before the exam.

To make sure that I arrived at the hotel on time, I wrote "Hotel - class" in my calendar on Saturday, to make sure I travelled to the hotel on Saturday. In my panic to be on time and punctual, I forgot why I wrote the note in my calendar, and thought that my class started on Saturday. :o

So, now I'm at the hotel A DAY EARLY...lol. Since I forced myself to get to bed early, at least I got a good night's sleep :) and...Last nite, while preparing for my exam, I found a GREAT website to help me study :D

Better than being a day late! At least you remembered to look at your calendar...which is a HUGE problem of mine:)

I'm seldom late for anything and always early, unless something unforseeable happens.

I use poket calendar that I carry with me everywhere unless I leave it on the computer, which I have done numerous times. For some reason, appointments are easy for me to remember, might be because I look at my calendar numerous times during the week.

Actually...the website is topic-specific to what I am studying for...so unless you're pursuing a CISSP certification...it will most likely not be of interest to you :)
