Make a List
It often seems like there’s so much to do, but not enough time to do it. Either that, or there is always something you forget to do. Sometimes these things you forget to do can have very bad consequences. For example if you constantly are forgetting to do homework, you might fail a class. Even worse if you forget to put gas in your car, you might be late to work and get fired. However there is a solution. Making lists of things you need to remember is probably the best way to avoid these problems.
There are already things you probably almost always make lists for. If you have a large party you would probably make a list of how many guests are coming so you know how much food to order. However you might not make a list of simpler things such as what you need to bring with you for a small day trip. Although you know there’s been times when you wish you had. Maybe remembering to bring that bottle of sunscreen could’ve saved you a lot of trouble.
Most people are already making lists in their head of things that need to get done. However it is not a very good idea to rely soley on mental lists. Your brain processes so much everyday, that it is impossible to remember everything, even if its important. Yes every list does start out as a mental list, but the important thing is to write it down when you get the chance. You might not carry paper around with you, but I bet you usually have your cell phone. This works just as well, since many new phones now have memo sections to write notes to yourself. I personally find this way of list making to work very well.
I personally am always forgetting to do things, and I find making lists makes my life a whole lot easier. I use lists for just about everything from shopping lists to things I need to remember to bring with me. I even make little memos sometimes about who I need to call on my lunch break. Making lists is good idea for everyone to do because you never know when you might just forget to do the wrong thing.
