Thanks for starting this thread, Bipolarartist --
I've got huge issues with paperwork management too. And concept of time/date. No joke, even season sometimes.
I have an alarm set for same time every day to check other alarms, if that's any indication.
And 4 alarms, including a really annoying one in next room (so cannot turn off in sleep) just for getting up if I have to go to work. And still can't manage to be on time.
More recently, like Christina, I've been putting appointments in the calendar part of my phone. Never thought of putting bills in there.
I think putting stuff in phone is great, and do it, BUT. I worry -- what if it gets lost? Would be curious to hear others thoughts on "backup".

I wonder this too, and think it (esp. attn span) is a BIG contributor to my notorious out of control list-making. Have paper and pencil at hand at all times. Sometimes forget before pencil hits paper. BF goes nuts over all these lists, saying the important stuff you'll remember and it'll get done. But it doesn't!
Then there is how to organize the information. (Getting priority things done, even determined, not a strong suit.) And where to put it. Not in face, gets forgotten. In face, covers desk. Ack! I CAN get stuff that needs to get mailed, put in car etc. Just set in front of door to trip over.
That actually works!
