Ways to Stop Forgetting & Get More Done

挽救烂记性

可可电台

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.

设置自动模式。我最喜欢的避免遗忘的方式就是让事情自动化模式进行。设置然后就可以不管了。这点在自动清还账单上非常奏效。多点创意,你就会惊喜地发现很多事情都能自动地完成。比如,每六个月亚马逊都会自动寄给我一个新的冰箱水滤器。这样我就不必记着或者出去自己买一个回来了。

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.

刚开始就别答应。想避免忘记答应了的帮助请求吗?或者是答应完成的额外工作?最好的方法就是一开始就不要答应。如果你自己的工作已经都超负荷了,就不要再答应接受更多了。这样你就不会让别人失望。

From time to time he will take on a new persona.

他时常伪装自己。

Don't take on more responsibilities than you can handle.

不要承担过多的责任。

In some works, flowers take on a powerful emblematic quality.

在一些作品中,花具有强烈的象征意义。
