Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done

挽救爛記性

Set a Reminder

設置提醒。

Alarms are great for one-offs.

鬧鐘對于一次性提示非常有效。

However, for regular or repeating tasks go ahead and set a reminder.

但是對于定期或是重復的工作，就來設置一個提醒吧。

For example, I have a reminder on my iPhone that goes off every Wednesday at 7AM to tell me to put the trash out. 9 times out of 10, I have already put it out. But, the few times I hadn’t…it worked like a charm.

例如，我在iPhone上設置了一個提醒，讓它在每周三早上7點鐘的時候提醒我丟垃圾，10次中有9次我都已經把垃圾丟了出去。但是也有為數不多的幾次是我還沒有去丟垃圾……這種提醒就像是個魔咒似的。
