What is the thing you keep forgetting?

And what would remind you. — asked by Kiki

SaoirseKilkenny, IE

Labelled the freezer boxes with what is in them and how I felt when I made them.

6

FitzLimerick, IE

Put the three things I can always eat on a list on the fridge. Best thing I own.

5

DelphiThessaloniki, GR

Told work. Practical rather than emotional, in the end. Ten minutes and a form.

8

OndineLausanne, CH

New sharps bin and a plan for what happens to it when I move.

7

Lando This is exactly why I read this page.

FlorrieBlackburn, UK

Labelled the freezer boxes with what is in them and how I felt when I made them.

AnnikaStockholm, SE

Got the prescription transferred between two counties without a single phone call, which I am still smug about.

6

TarqWindsor, UK

Wrote three questions down for Thursday. I have never once remembered them otherwise.

7

Bettina Well held. That cannot have been easy to say.

HalCambridge, UK

Worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four housemates and a toddler.

4

DuncanPerth, UK

Worked out the ferry timetable against the pharmacy opening hours and now keep a three-week buffer.

4

HannahSheffield, UK

Two lines a day in a paper diary. That is my entire system and it has twice changed a clinical decision.

5

DaraAthlone, IE

Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than the calendar. Solved a problem I had felt guilty about for months.

8

Poppy Sounds like a good GP. Hold onto them.

HettyCambridge, UK

Set a repeating alarm for the injection so it stops being a decision.

6

ÖzlemIzmir, TR

New sharps bin and a plan for what happens to it when I move.

7

Olly Your pharmacist sounds like a good one. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

BoWhitby, UK

Cancelled two things so that Thursday is empty. That is the practical win.
