Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done

挽救烂记性

可可电台

Set an Alarm

闹钟定时。

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.

手机上都有闹钟的,但是我们却很少用到。定个闹钟是提醒自己最简单的方法。要在当天结束前电话回访客户吗?定个下午5点的闹钟提醒。简单的闹铃提醒是唤醒记忆最低级也最粗糙的方式。

Put it On Your Calendar

标在日历上。

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.

日历通常没有被充分利用。不要只是把会议约见标在上面,也要把你需要完成的事项标上。这样做不但可以提醒自己,而且还有助于完成工作的时间分配。
