Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done

挽救爛記性

Put It On Automatic–One of my favorite ways to avoid forgetting tasks is to put them on automatic. Set and forget. This works great with AutoPay for bills. Get creative, you will be surprised how many things you can automate. For example, every six months Amazon automatically sends me a new water filter for my fridge. I don’t have to remember or even go out and get one.

設(shè)置自動(dòng)模式。我最喜歡的避免遺忘的方式就是讓事情自動(dòng)化模式進(jìn)行。設(shè)置然后就可以不管了。這點(diǎn)在自動(dòng)清還賬單上非常奏效。多點(diǎn)創(chuàng)意，你就會(huì)驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)很多事情都能自動(dòng)地完成。比如，每六個(gè)月亞馬遜都會(huì)自動(dòng)寄給我一個(gè)新的冰箱水濾器。這樣我就不必記著或者出去自己買一個(gè)回來了。

Don’t Say Yes In The First Place–Want to avoid forgetting that favor that you promised? Or that extra task you agreed to take on? One of the best methods is to say“No”in the first place. If you are overloaded with your own work, don’t agree to take on more. You are just setting yourself up to disappoint others.

剛開始就別答應(yīng)。想避免忘記答應(yīng)了的幫助請求嗎？或者是答應(yīng)完成的額外工作？最好的方法就是一開始就不要答應(yīng)。如果你自己的工作已經(jīng)都超負(fù)荷了，就不要再答應(yīng)接受更多了。這樣你就不會(huì)讓別人失望。
