WHAT MUST I REMEMBER TO DO TODAY? : Page 33
Show me the household where the temperature doesn't shoot down to zero under this kind of barrage: "Did you send
my suit to the cleaners? Did you call the landlord to fix the sink? Why haven't you paid the gas bill?"
You don't need a secretary to remind you of the little things you might forget. Even a secretary's memory is not infallible. You can, however, remember petty details independently and surely with the ten key words you already know. Make your own Mental Memorandum List.
You don't need any fixed time for filing your memoranda on your mental hooks, as you do when you make memoranda in your little notebook. You merely file them in order as you think of them. In the act of running for a streetcar, you may remember that as soon as you get to the office you must look over the report of yesterday's meeting. Very well, file that idea at once on alarm clock, key word number one.
