MULTIPLE PERSONALITY ORDER

It's challenging enough to deal with colorful personalities in the workplace, but at home coping with multiple schedules is no easy task! Play dates, doctor appointments, dinner parties, phone messages, vet visits, marital counseling sessions...how do you keep track of it all? Unless you're running for public office and have a staff of people helping you, chances are you're doing your best to keep it all together. For us, it's hard enough to manage train schedules, dry cleaning runs, etc. So, the Gemini-Attention Deficit Disordered organizer in me decided to listen to one voice in my head, focus and created one, simple area to post all of our appointments, messages, etc.

HERE'S HOW WE MANAGE OUR MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES:

I headed to Ikea and purchased a magnetic message board (the swedes call it something like Tjurgemurge), hung it on the wall next to our phone and have color-coded magnets for my messages, Joe's messages, the dogs, etc. It's clean, easy, organized and helps keep our hectic schedules in one easy place!
