I must admit that I've offloaded my long-term memory into the cloud. For as long as I can remember (ho ho) I've used Google Calender to record everything I have to do.
It all started long ago when I used to make lists. 'To-do' lists that were always completed from the top so that everything was completed in chronological order without fear or favour.
I never allowed myself to move on to the next item before the previous one had been dealt with. All a bit anal but ultimately efficient.
That behaviour has continued to the present day but instead of handwritten lists my to-do list is now recorded in the calender. A calender that sits on Google's servers somewhere. Which means that part of my brain is actually somewhere else. How weird is that?
It's a pretty foolproof system and it allows me to grow old without having to remember anything. Excellent.
Looks like your short term memory isn't doing too well either - left the room without your trousers on - hope you weren't in Sainsbury's!
ReplyDelete.. and leaving the toilet seat up would get you a bollocking in this house.
I suggest a little distraction technique - leave a little puddle on the floor and she'll not notice the toilet seat.
ReplyDeleteI would have difficulty remembering to look at the google list of things I have to remember, inbetween all the stuff I have to do in a day, as I flit from one task to another, achieving nothing much..........Yours, aadd of blogland.
