I have enjoyed using Day One for journaling as it transcribes audio dictation when thoughts are coming more easily by speaking than by typing. I’ve also used audio recording app, called Voice Recorder, that lets me record dr. appts and title and organize them in folders–then when they say something important that I want to remember or review, I jot down the time stamp so I know where to go back to re-listen.

I also use Google Sheets for a master list of all my providers and their contact info and area of treatment; and a separate sheet for list of medications with dosing/time of day taken/ special instructions/prescriber. I have downloaded but not yet learned to use the BEST suite apps—before the website updated I thought I found a tutorial on each one, but can’t find that now and not sure if there is such a thing.

For calendars I still much prefer paper but have found it helpful to post a chart on the wall with 1/2hr time slots and have printed off different colors to represent different things (appts, errands, appt review or appt prep, meals, laundry, rest breaks, bills, social activities etc.) and having the color and being able to physically manipulate the color blocks to visualize each week helps me see when the week is missing something or overloaded and I need to ask for help or reschedule.
