Lockdown and automation Rather than writing lists of instructions for your father, you could use simple automation software to record and save a series of actions and create a macro button that you can put on his desktop, or assign to a hot key. There are plenty of options, but you could try the free, open source AutoHotKey or the freeware AutoIt. A different kind of alternative is SlickRun, which uses "magic words", eg you can just type MAIL to run your email program of choice.

(Evernote +) I have severe event-memory difficulty. I depend on Evernote with companion apps and devices to accommodate my limitations with minimal interaction. I use an android document scanner that allows me to photograph documents I sign. It aligns the view and saves an indexed OCR'd PDF. A conversation recorder and a transcription service store recordings of conversations with indexed transcriptions. I also use Google Calendar with connections to Gmail and Toodle do task manager, which are all linked to each other, and Gmail forwards my daily agenda notes to Evernote. I use a paper notebook from Moleskine to write notes I want stored in Evernote. The pre-printed lines of the notebook consist of a grid of tiny dots that facilitate Evernote's handwriting recognition feature. I also use an inexpense fast document scanner to record all of my daily snail-mail as it arrives. I scan the envelope, open it, scan the contents, and store an indexed PDF of all correspondence, bills, (which I can tag with due dates so Evernote will remind me to follow up) and even advertisements that I may want to reference in the future. All of these apps are accessible from within Evernote's marketplace. Feb 12th, 2014 5:12pm
