On Remembering Shit
If an idea strikes you at an inopportune time, make something out of place to remind yourself of the idea.
For instance, if you're in the shower and you remember that you need to pay your electric bill, put your towel somewhere other than where it normally is. When you go to dry off, you'll instantly be reminded to pay the bill. Likewise, if you're about to fall asleep and remember something important, throw a pillow toward the other side of the room. Upon waking, you'll see the pillow and remember there was something important that needed done, and, unless you're a retard, you'll be able to piece together what it was.
If there's something that you need to remember to take with you the next time you leave the house (like tickets to a show you're going to or your spurliegaut before you go to a ham carving seminar), place it on top of your keys. It'll be tough to get to the keys without being reminded to take the important item.
