Honestly, I don’t run into this thing very often, but to accept the hypothetical, I would add a note in simplenote that just said “Yes I locked the door” right after I locked it. And then whenever I worried, I could page to the note. (I also expect that pausing to do this would make me less likely to worry.
I always pause conversations for this. It takes 2 seconds to drop the book into my Amazon cart from my phone, and then it’s in queue to be bought/requested through the library/etc. And I just say, “Oooh, hang on, I really want to remember that.
Probably by spending a little time opening and closing the door correctly while saying “Pow!” and picturing myself heroically saving the food from death.
Writing down the directions in simplenote
I usually speak not-from-notes already. I keep in mind the shape of the speech and it’s emotional arcs (if this is the part where the audience feels relaxed and they’re about to feel discomfited, then I know what I must be saying to make that change).
Yeah, I still use the write it down online method for my SSN. I just removed a few numbers and replaced them with sentences that rely on hard to google info about me that I can easily recall to remember the numbers. So I expect I’d do the same thing here and transcribe.
I always put this into my phone (simplenote again).
Ha. I’m reasonably faceblind, so I am mostly screwed walking in. I should probably make notes on business cards at the end of convos and before I join the next one.
It helps me to think of the systems in the big picture and then zoom in to the details. As long as they feel like unconnected facts, I’m screwed. So that might mean reading stories about particular cases, so they feel like stories, and the symptoms are about people or by anthropomorphizing the white blood cells, etc.
