How is Your Memory Treating You?

How is your memory treating you these days?

You wake up with a ton of great ideas to get important tasks out of the way. Before breakfast is eaten, the whole mood has changed and your memory of what you wanted to accomplish is MIA.

I have seven long years of daily checklists on record, saved to external drives by the year and each month therein.

Ask me why I religiously kept such records and I will give you some mumbo-jumbo excuse for being so busy, having expectations of my own vs the needs of daily contacts asking for help.

Whatever would I do without my checklists to embarrass the living hell out of my level of competence?

So What is a checklist supposed to do?

A checklist is the brain child of some idiot who made you feel better thinking it was an International job aid used to reduce failure by compensating for potential limits of human memory and attention spans.

When you review a few weeks of checklists, what you find is an embarrassing picture of a ton of things you promised to do for someone and never got close to accomplishing.

Men are to blame for the need of a checklist

I run the gamut from woman to wife, to mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, (In a few months I make the great great-grandmother level). My family is large and my pride and joy. The older they all get, the more it scares me. Do I really have to admit I am getting ahem older?
