Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done

挽救爛記性

Set an Alarm

鬧鐘定時。

We all have alarm clocks on our phones, yet few of us use them. Setting an alarm is the simplest way to remind yourself. Need to call that customer back by end of day? Set your alarm for 5PM. A simple alarm is the down and dirty way to jog your memory.

手機上都有鬧鐘的，但是我們卻很少用到。定個鬧鐘是提醒自己最簡單的方法。要在當天結束前電話回訪客戶嗎？定個下午5點的鬧鐘提醒。簡單的鬧鈴提醒是喚醒記憶最低級也最粗糙的方式。

Put it On Your Calendar

標在日歷上。

Calendars are often underutilized. Don’t just make appointments for meetings, but also for tasks that you need to do. This not only reminds you, but has the added benefit of allotting time to get the work done.

日歷通常沒有被充分利用。不要只是把會議約見標在上面，也要把你需要完成的事項標上。這樣做不但可以提醒自己，而且還有助于完成工作的時間分配。
