Final thoughts

[andrewducker]

We have a cat. Well, technically Erin has a cat, but obviously, wanders around the flat.

I try to remember to feed the darn thing before going to bed, and I seem to be doing a fairly good job of remembering about 3 times in 4. Unfortunately the 4th time in 4, it then decides that Joe will feed it (Joe's room being the nearest to the kitchen, I assume. Either that or Joe's door being open entices it in in case it can eat him).

My memory is notoriously bad. Erin's is usually better, but (for instance) this evening she came in, had a shower and was snoring hours ago. Not much good for late-night cat feeding. My memory is so bad that I use my Yahoo calendar to remind me to take the bin out once a week (it mails an address that texts my phone).

So I need some kind of method of remembering. I could have a standard procedure of going to bed (after all, I remember to clean my teeth about 95% of the time. I could just write something on my toothbrush I suppose, but I'm not sure I'd remember to read my toothbrush every night.

Any suggestions short of carving "feed the damn cat" on the inside of my cornea?

You spend ample time online. Use Yahoo calendar to remind you via email or some-thing of the sorts. Chances are, you'll ignore the message and it won't get done (procrastination, wonderful) -- but, at least you'd have been remembered. (Before re-forgetting)

every time you go to bed you go to your bed, so make a note and leave it there, that way when you get to bed you'll see it and either have remembered or be reminded.

You didn't feed the cat last night, and she's been out of dry food for more than a week.

Assuming you use one, any way you could make putting the catfood in front of the alarm clock part of your morning routine? Hard to set the alarm at night with catfood in the way.

Ok. Dead easy.

a) get a post it note. Write 2 things on it

1) FEED THE CAT YOU WANKH0R
2) PUT ME SOMEWHERE NEW

Every time you see the post it, at night, feed the cat, and move the post it somewhere new. that way you won't get used to it being in the same place.
