According to Lawrence C. Katz, co-author of "Keep Your Brain Alive," and Pierce J. Howard, author of "The Owner's Manual for the Brain," both state that by doing something every day, will keep your brain cells active and alive. So I guess, exercising our brain by organizing every day, isn't as bad as we may think.

You still have to run errands, so let's explore some simple ways to get everything done, and still not get stressed out by planning your day and writing things down as soon as you remember them.
