I carry a notebook where I write down what I am supposed to remember. Tomorrow night I have to bring my metal garbage can and lid to rehearsal for the play Dorothy Meets Alice. The director wants to use the garbage can to create a loud noise off stage. The sound of The Wicked Witch of the West falling out of the sky, because the monkeys did not use enough counter weights.
Today I have to call the doctor to make an appointment, and I have to call the Supervisor of the Infant nursery to let her know Sandy is going to work for me the day of the play. I wrote those down as well.
Unclutter your brain in five easy steps
1. Write it down.
2. Write it down.
3. Write it down.
4. Write it down.
5. Write it down.
Okay, now seriously,
Unclutter your brain in five easy steps
1. The first step is to write it down. ( I really mean it. Get it on paper and out of your head.)
2. The second step it to do what you write down. Don’t keep putting off the hard tasks. The unfinished hard tasks stay in your brain and taunt you.
3. Do the first item on your list. Finish it. Cross it off your list.
4. Do NOT try to do all items on your list at the same time. Can you really wash the dishes and clean the basement at the same time?
5. Finish a task. Then start the next one.
And one last reminder.
Write it down.
How do you unclutter your brain?
