Planning
When it comes to organizing plans, people think of a to do list or an calendar planner. There are so many different ways people prepare to do things though!

Well, first of all, the semester for fall is paid for, so I have to purchase textbooks and a parking permit. Other than that, I got my internship placement approved. I'm pretty nervous because for one I'm deaf and use sign language and two I have to work with hearing clients in person. Can you imagine scheduling an appointment and seeing someone without knowing they are deaf?? Now, that would be funny.
@SparklyCat
I wish you all the best with your internship! Let us know how it goes!
What helps me with planning is my dry erase board with every day of the week on it, my Calendar app that gives me reminders of when my next event is, and my Reminders app for everything else.
My plans for August consist of a lot of medical appointments and starting a new job. I will be using the same tools I listed above.
I honestly just would like some support from “friends” when I need to vent about how stressful this month is going to be for me, sadly they don’t give me the space for that without making it about themselves. But the 7 Cups app is wonderful for finding actual supportive people. :)
@TheBPDBaddie
I'm glad that you feel supported here on 7 Cups! I wish you all the best with your new job!!!
I am not sure what to plan for august. I am glad to see my family. Another mini vacation would greatly. Avoid all the covid scares. Keep my self healthy with my epilepsy and migraine issues. Handling things as best I can with my what I am diagnosed with.
@MoonLightShadow423
That sounds like a plan. :) I hope that you can see your family and go on a mini vacation!
@AffyAvo
What helps you with planning?
I plan every day on a self-made "whiteboard" that has the sections "day", "date", "appointments", "tasks (mandatory)", "tasks (optional)", "self-care", and "other". Every evening, or if I forgot morning, I write down everything I need to know and do this day. This board helps me to stay orientated and organized a lot!
In addition to that, I use the note app on my phone to put down things that I need to do and a calendar app to schedule appointments. Those apps help me to remember what I need to put on my board each day.
What are your plans for August and what tools are you using to help the plans?
I have some appointments and want to focus on self-care. The tools I'm using are the ones mentioned above.
What would you like some support with?
I need to get reminded to put my focus on self-care from time to time.
I don’t know how plan things I just do things my mom and daddy tell me to do I don’t know how to plan stuff things I am suppose to do. Just I very anxious not understanding things all time I’m sorry my brain stupid a lot
@AffyAvo
What helps you with planning?
thinking ahead, writing it down, preparing what documents i need, always making sure i have a pen
What are your plans for August and what tools are you using to help the plans? my plans for august, is to try to get one night of camping in by lake with the kids, if it doesnt rain on the day i want to go, and deff move forward and get my recoverycoach class going, and all this stuff, so i can finally start my brand new job in the clinic<3... what helped me or helps me plan, is the new time management spread sheet from growth path on 7 cups, which is absolutely amazing and if anyone has not done that growth path yet, and acquired the certificate after the test, i highly recommend it, you will look at planning and managing all your tasks with time and stuff differently<3
What would you like some support with?
Remembering to schedule afternoon appointments because i always schedule for morning, even knowing i won't wake up early even though i tell myself i will and it will be okay<3 ughh lol
@affyavo thank you for this check in, it was great! beautiful<3
Hi my husband and I got section 8 since we both have disabilities. Our housing situation is very difficult, the owner of the complex doesn't care about the tenants at all. We are looking to move. Is it possible to find a safe place to live with section 8 for someone with disabilities? Or should we both look to work and get out of section 8? Or both, work and keep section 8? Thank you!
@AffyAvo
What helps you with planning?
Having structure and having a goal!
What are your plans for August and what tools are you using to help the plans?
I've been doing some work with a pro-choice group (I live in the US), and I'm planning one of our events for this month! I luckily have a team that can help me tweak and improve my plans and ideas. They're the best "tool". Planning is easiest when I don't have to do it alone. Then I also use BIG master organizing lists to get started with all the plans.
What would you like some support with?
Ugh. Not much I think 7cups can help with unfortunately. I get so frustrated because my husband won't communicate with me when it comes to plans. I'm VERY communicative about planning my day (or even next few days). I'll remind him. Then he'll decide on day he's got something "planned" during when I've got things planned, and have informed him of. It's just super frustrating and coupled with a few other life things, it's really got me down in my day to day. We share a car so there's not much I can do other than hang in there. Clear structure and clear plans help me with my disabilities too.
