I take notes and write up mini reviews on my laptop when I watch shows as its the only way I can follow what’s happening. Even with no distractions I tend to drift off into my thoughts.
Once or a twice a year at work I’ll go through the cycle of creating a new planning system, doing really well with it before it ultimately fails. It’s better than nothing though. I’m using Microsoft Planner a lot now.
I have a Galaxy Watch which I use to help with my morning routine. It syncs with google calendar and I schedule in everything I need to do in minute detail (wake up, get up, make breakfast, eat breakfast etc…) it kinda works but not so much just recently. Again better than nothing.
How about you?
Yeah i’m the world’s worst listener and I absolutely hate it so I’m always trying to find ways to fix it. I can watch entire season runs without knowing what happened. I’ve been known to go to the cinema and leave without having paid attention to a single thing. I’ve listened to literally hundreds of podcasts but don’t bother any more because there’s just no point. Five minutes at best and my mind goes elsewhere.
Ironically if there’s something else I’m trying to focus on and there is a TV or something happening in my peripheral I often can’t tune it out… lol
