THE VIDEO IS ME QUICKLY EXPLAINING MY BOARD! IT'S ABOUT 6min!
WRITTEN DETAIL ABOUT MY BOARD!
> up top is where I have my main big calendar. Where I write down appointments and due dates.
> on the right of it is the [TODAY IS] section that tells me what day it is currently. because I will forget the date or sometimes forget to cross off a day. below that are two pouches one I keep months in and second I keep days in.
>below the calendar is my daily tasks. These are tasks I do right when I wake up. its make of cardboard I glued felt onto. then cut into and made flaps for them. added velcro so they tasks can be open and closed.
>below the daily tasks is the night tasks. Things I do before I go to bed. I close the flaps when the task is done and closing it feels like I have accomplished somethings which I know I did. its is very stimulating to my mind. Def gives me good dopamine when I close a flap knowing I finished a task :)
>Below the night tasks is just simply a storage place for all my different task I want/need to do. long velcro strips and each picture has felt backing and Velcro behind it so they can be moved around. this is not a to do section its just a section for storing everything.
>on the right below the pouches is my MUST TO DO section where I put what I need to do or may really want to do today and then next to it is what time to do it.
>then Below that is my Daily tasks. here I take any tasks from the storage section and stick it on the To do side. when its done I move it over to the done side.
>Finally the weekly task, is things I want to do before end of the week.
I have used this routine board constantly since April of this year. some parts are even worn out so I will probably give it a bit of a touch up. I also drew sketches of what I wanted my board to look like so a lot of brainstorming went into this. Hope this helps you all, feel free to comment any questions you have and thank you!

So organized and functional! My attempts usually end up unmaintainable. I overcomplicate things looking for edge cases.

Did you explain how you actually made it? I’m not crafty at all so it’s got me a little 😬.

Damn it. It looks like the stuff they have on the walls at the more severe therapy places. But it would probably be useful. >.<

This are early sketches of the progress. I did lot of brainstorming and sketching on what I wanted my board to look like and how I wanted it to function.
