Sometimes, I need to slap myself hard because I cannot seem to be capable of reminding myself of such simple things. Listed below are 3 things I wish I could remember to remind myself.
1. Always save my work after typing something out, whether it’s relevant at the moment or not. I remember times when I have written a brilliant sentence, and because I have forgotten to save it, thinking that it was so insignificant (just one sentence), I lost it. So, lesson learned: always save my work whether it seems relevant or not. I always have the option of deleting it if it is not relevant.
2. Don’t shop by impulse. I am guilty of shopping using this method. It leaves me feeling guilty and broke. Fortunately, there have been times when I have caught myself in action. A way to find out if I really need that particular item is to ask myself a couple of questions. Questions like, “do I need this?”, “will I use it often?”, and “if I were to come back tomorrow, will I still want to purchase it?”. If the answer is no to at least one question, then I would put that ‘useless’ item down and walk away. Remember, you will be saving your wallet’s life.
3. Remember to close my bedroom windows when it starts raining. No one wants their bedroom to be rained on. I don’t want my bedroom to be rained on. My room is meant to be a shelter, not a swimming pool, although that may be quite awesome.
