    I am right there with you diceman. This is actually very important for affiliates at our level. I found myself having to research everything 3-4 times because I was not organized. Now I just have 3 seperate journals now that I keep. One about seo, one about designing and coding, and another about casinos, poker rooms and thier respective affiliate program. Then I just highlight all the keywords so it only takes me a few seconds to browse through all the pages to find my topic. If I were a little more savvy on a computer I would come up with a way to orgainze it alphabettically with a search function, but I just aint that smart. So I don’t know if you do anything now, if you don’t I would just recommend taking notes, lord knows there are a zillion things to read about and learn with this business and keep those notes categorized in different journals like I do. This is far from good organization and I am sure some others could offer better advice, but at least it is a start if your doing nothing towards organizing your notes. Good luck.

    plus sometimes just the act of writing something down stores it a little more solidly (is that a word — no I dont think so) in your brain.

    Hey there,

    I admit, in my impatience I tend to skim threads rather than read the entire thing most of the time, if it looks like I missed something of interest, I go back and look for it.

    The first time I read your post I thought “yeah, I need to organize” with no intention to actually do anything about it…

    I don’t advertise, infact I’m pretty sure only one person on CAP until now even know’s I have ADD, not only do I have ADD I have a short term memory diffiency (see how many ppl I’ve told :P I haven’t even learned to spell it :P hehe) caused by a bruise in my brain that wont ever heal.

    Having ADD means I think different than the rest of the world I suppose.. when you have ADD your brain races and you think of sooo many things at once, jumping from subject to subject, imo that is a great thing, not bad.. but it takes other ppl some getting used to ;)

    Being that i also lack much of a short term memory, i might go a bit overboard, but to keep my life, and idea’s organized i..

    Keep sticky notes that remind me of things I need to do ‘later’ anything I don’t do this moment.. go’s on a sticky… If you’ve ever ordrered an article from me, you’ve been the subject of a sticky ;) hehe..

    I also send myself PM’s in my own forum.. that reminds me to do silly things like post something tomorrow .. or look into a new news item.. research somethingerother or whatever..

    For ideas I keep 5-10 notepads around the house, I almost always have a new idea or 10 hehe.. My mind never stops, some are great, some not so much ;) .. but either way, as soon as I think of something, I write it down. Later on I will decide if I want to develop it, but for right now, the trick is to not forget it ;)

    I keep a calendar online and on my desk, that reminds me to do things like announce passwords BEFORE private tournaments start hehe My online calendar pops up to remind me that I have a dentist appt tomorrow, in an hour, in ten minutes hehe.. If thats not enuff, my cell phone does too ;)

    I think in such a creative industry, someone with ADD actually has the advantage, what more can you ask for than 1000’s of idea’s running through your brain everyday and a profitable place to put them ;)

    That orginization thing is a bit tricky.. but I betchya a good half of this forum would agree they could improve some in that department hehe

    On a side note..

    The first time I read this post .. I thought to myself.. what the hell is an anchor! I can write the link, all the parts are there, but I’ll be damned if I remember what they are called ;) and frankly, I don’t care to much, but I did love the journal idea, and I now have a sticky note to remind me to buy some notebooks ;)

    Good Luck to you,
    and stay off the drugs mayun, they turn ppl into zombies

    Phew, what a nice post to read..
    Believe it or not. Lady, your post made me feel better as a person let alone giving me hope and inspire me to be ok with my own chaos.
    I have sticky, notepads and all of that stuff. I even have a box with notes and stuff :( ……… I do have lots and lots of ideas and I hate when I forget about the good ones… I even used to have a Digital recorder that I put EVERYTHING on. Well that would get full.. I would upload it to the computer and then fill it up again, upload, fill, upload and now I find myself trying to organize my organized ideas if that makes any since hahaha LOL…. man! what a mess!
    I am also a bit of a pack rat.

    HERES THE REAL PROBLEM…
    I get very discouraged when I get behind and I freeze up… Well right now I am really really behind on top of not knowing if my work is going to be for nothing in a few months. Like I said “WHAT A MESS!”

    I used to have so many Sticky notes! Check it out.. and my x would always “clean” them up!!! :crazy: . Well now thats over.. ahhhhh :happydanc

    Anyway… Glad you gave me your support with your post Lady its very cool. We ADD folks are unique thats for sure hahaha I only just found out 3 years ago for sure that I was. My parents kept it from me…..

    I still dont know alot about it at all.
