How do you remember to write the reminders, set the alarms, and everything?
I struggle with that. I know it's a good idea... but there's a large part of me that wins over by saying you need a reminder?? You don't need a reminder! You need a swift kick in the pants! You should remember this on your own. And then of course, in the process of all of this thinking.. I forget to do it.
And I have anxiety about writing lists and reminders to myself. I have no idea where this comes from. It's like... I know I should make a list.. but I have anxiety about making the list. Maybe I'm afraid I won't accomplish everything on the list I set out to do? I'm a bit of a perfectionist...
