How to remember time sensitive items w/o a specific date
Hey guys, thanks for reading and thanks in advanced for any help.
Let's say I want to remind myself to try a dish at a restaurant in a city I'm rarely in. Let's also assume I won't remember I set myself up a reminder when that time comes. Any ideas guys?
Other example: A funny birthday party gift I'd like to remember the next time an opportunity comes around.
I have a lot of ideas that aren't part of a much bigger list, which makes it harder to remember that I made a list in the first place. Items like "when I buy a house" are easily remembered.
These are Someday-Maybe for me
For your first example, I'd add an item to my Someday/Maybe list "Try the tempura at Wasabi." For your second I might have an entry called "Potential Gifts to Give" and list things I think of that I might want to give to someone someday, along with pertinent info like where to buy/$/who it might be appropriate for, etc. I actually do have a list called "Things I Want". :cool:
The trick here is that you are reviewing your Someday/Maybe list appropriately. I review mine once a week as part of my weekly review. It's a refresher for my mind so if I find myself at Wasabi I'm liable to remember that there was something I wanted to try and I can look it up. I don't necessarily read the entire list of "Things I Want" every week but I see that I have a list and I have a moment to think about if I want to get myself a gift. It's also handy to print and leave lying around the house round about birthday time!
