It is based on nine key folders: Who, What, Whence, Where, Why, When, Way, Wealth and Wisedom. The purpose of these nine folders are to describe discrete and unmistakeable categories for different types of reference information. FocusPlex Implementation of WhoWhatEtc…

TaskWhy on Taskwhy.com is a system for managing inter-related tasks. In its simplest implementation, TaskWhy is a series of folders, one per category, with contained folders: one per task. Initially, my categories were the Deming wheel: plan, do, check and act. I would move the tasks from one category to the other with defined processes for each folder.

Although only one of my sleep cycles was perfect that night, we were able to determine that OSA didn’t…

I was told I needed a paper agenda to manage my time with Adult ADHD. Therefore, I spent 11 hours trying to find what would work for me.
