Reminders for the forgetful

My memory is getting worse.

It seems that it’s getting shorter. I forget too quickly, I forget too many things.My actions are getting too obvious too childish—unconsciously. Was wondering is everything really alright with me.

It’s affecting everything at work; that's what frightens me. I’m afraid if the other teachers are starting to doubt my seriousness in educating these children. And I am afraid if they don’t trust me enough to give me responsibilities.

Stick notes are already everywhere. Big, small, written in red pens, highlighted. Lists; to-do-lists, important-things-pleaseee-you-have –to-remember lists… all sorts of names. I even ask for other teachers (who know me enough to understand my ‘condition’) to remind me of little things. I think I’ve done everything I can.

But I still left my things everywhere, forgot to do things every day, skipped meals, skipped meetings unless reminded, lost letters, forgot to tick the attendance log.

Maybe it’s about routines. I have to establish a really nice routine. A book that will never get lost (tied to my table). And I think I have to hire a PA. But then again no—money. Anyways everyone will think it’s too absurd of a job.

Hokayh. My point? Argh I forgot... Nevermind. But, what was I supposed to do after blogging?

Darn.

Where did I put my checklist just now?
Double darn.

oo...i use a book. except that i don't tie it to my table. i carry it with me everyday everywhere. pi skolah mesti ada wallet, phone, kunci n the book. i also write entries like "tanya ustazah mcm mana mo buat kertas exam bm yr2" or "remind year 4 to hantar kerja rumah the next day" bcoz i can even forget simple things like that.
try the book thing for 2 weeks see if it workd for u.
