How to remember ?
« on: March 05, 2020, 08:31:55 am »
I just did a wash but I cant remember if I put the detergent in, I don't see any suds but the pods really don't show suds. How can one remember? I know it's an off the wall question...have YOU ever forgot anything?...I think i'm losing it lol

I forget stuff like that on the regular, LOL! I'm constantly losing stuff, so I've got to where I'm very, very careful about putting things exactly where they go. The other day, though, I fed my cat a half of a container of food and meant to put the other half of the packet in the fridge for his evening meal. But at suppertime I could not find it! My husband finally found it in the odds and ends drawer, LOL! I had to throw it away, of course, but I completely understand about forgetting to add detergent, etc.  :peace: :heart:

I forgot all the time, don't know if it has to do with age but I always use my age as an excuse!

yes, I forgot to wear my glasses one day when I went for a drive. I will never make that mistake again. I can't see the street signs very well without my glasses

I forget things like you named fairly frequently.  I think it is because I am on "auto pilot" for tasks like this and am thinking about other things when I do them.  More and more I find I have to be attentive and making a mental note when I do things.  Parking the car in a large lot comes to mind!  LOL!!

I have this problem daily. I am supposed to take a few ounces of fiber every day to aid digestion and I can never remember whether I have already taken it or not and whether I should take it again.

Depends on where the washing machine is.  You could always lay one out on top of the machine.  SO you remember to put it in.  I use a tide kick dispenser so if it is in the machine so is the detergent.

When in doubt.....I usually say throw it out, but in this case just add it in, if you don't see suds you needed more anyway.

I forget stuff constantly, that's why I have reminders in my phone and planner.  I'll literally forget if I don't write it down.

Yes, I think we all do at times; sometimes I get in my car and don't remember if I turned on the house alarm ???so I generally just go back to check and make sure.

With my age and over-cluttered mind, I forget frequently.  That's one reason that I have to do things as soon as they enter my brain or who knows when I will think of it again.
Have a wonderful day!
