HOW WILL I REMEMBER TO REMEMBER?
But, you will say, how am I going to remember in the morning that I have a memory system, that I have filed a memorandum list, and that I am going to do all these things today? In short, how will I remember to remember?
Here is where our first key word serves a double purpose, for few of us are fortunate enough not to have to awaken in the morning to the overture of an alarm clock. Even if the alarm is not set, your first conscious act is to glance at the dial to see what time it is.
Even then, you rarely jump out of bed immediately. You stretch, scratch, yawn—and begin to remember. This is the simplest, most favorable time to review your plans for the day. But if it doesn't work for you, you will find any other regular daily act useful for the purpose.
