Leaving yourself reminders on how to do things correctly can be incredibly important. It can help prevent mistakes, save time, improve efficiency. There are several effective ways to leave yourself reminders, so find what works best for you and start using reminders to help you stay on track and achieve your goals. When we’re trying to learn a new skill or process, it can be overwhelming to try to remember all the steps involved, so break it up into chunks that serve as triggers for the info in your mind.
Here are a few ideas:
Sticky notes: Sticky notes are a classic way to leave yourself reminders. You can stick them on your computer, on your fridge, or anywhere else you’re likely to see them. You can also use different colors to categorize your reminders or make them more visually appealing.
Digital reminders: If you prefer a more tech-savvy approach, you can use digital reminders. Set up reminders on your phone or computer, or use an app that specializes in reminders. This can be particularly helpful if you need to set up recurring reminders or want to be reminded of something at a specific time.
Checklists: Checklists are another great way to leave yourself reminders. You can create a checklist for a specific task or process and refer to it as you work through the steps. You can also use checklists to keep track of multiple tasks or projects and ensure that you don’t miss anything important.
I often use all of these in one way or another… sometimes in tandem!
Whatever it takes. We are busy people, so help yourself with reminders on how to do the things that matter most and improve your workflow.
