Hi Ashley,
The projects haven't changed, but the visual display of the spreadsheet with colours somehow is visceral for me. Also, I've always known of this tool, but was never ready to make a commitment(and maybe that's why I'll die a bachelor) to deadlines, which is an important part of the tool.
There are steps to keep my wandering mind from following the important sequence of logic in getting anything done. Mood swings make decision-making hard, since I have to match what's best to my mood, so can grasp it. It's also been hard to sustain a number of tasks if moods aren't stable. A project planner can be flexible, and gives feedback if I'm falling behind, and helps with making thing realistic.
In the past, I didn't even believe I could use such a tool, since I have so little confidence, yet I have used computing for many years, and have a diploma in the field.
I'm lucky to have this site to support me, and you and your colleagues, since it's been a bumpy road, and it always will be. But this site is part of the emotional shock-absorbing that helps me.
