“And put the note....... where you can see it, like on your fridge.”
Herein lies MY problem. I am forever jotting notes about EVERYTHING and leave them EVERYWHERE and never refer back to them. Therefor I have sticky notes and pieces of paper everywhere.
Also I have a BAD habit of seeing an article etc on the Internet that I think I want to read so I hit the Google Bookmark. I NEVER go back and read them so I have 100’s I will eventually delete and swear I an NOT going to do that again and I do. :-(
I’ve used post its forever. One of my daughter’s picked up the habit and her son did too. I put them on my coffee pot and bathroom mirror.
“And put the note....... where you can see it, like on your fridge.”
For years DH and I would put reminder notes for each other on places we were pretty sure they’d be seen — fridge, mirror, etc. NOW that we’re older we leave them on top of our pill organizers because they definitely will be seen.
I was thinking of the sticky more for motivation (oh yeah, I've got 15 days to use it before I lose it). But maybe using the 21st century version of a sticky note would work for people like me, where things even in front of my face don't register-put it on your phone calendar! Put an appointment on your phone for 30 days out, and if you want to give yourself reminders to use it (like once a week), set those too.
I've finally admitted defeat that sitting my morning pills on my desk in front of my face doesn't do a thing about getting me to actually take them. I'm so busy that I *might* remember at lunch I need to do it. So now, I'm setting an actual alarm on my phone to go off as a reminder.
I swear, I think I have ADD. Reading the description/thought process sounds just like me.
