By that I mean what are some powerful and simple basic applied techniques or behaviors that are really useful you’ve developed or discovered in your life that makes things work or improve.
Lets keep them simple and powerful 🧙♂️
Let people on the phone know that you don’t mind if something is taking a bit longer and that you’re cool and with them whatever happens. Say something like, its okay I’m not in a rush ☺️
They’ll appreciate taking some of the pressure off and showing you are a receptive audience (you’re rooting for them) and I’ve found it to get superior outcomes since I started doing it, even tho I was always generally polite previously
Whenever I need to do something and I don’t want to note it down, I count the things I have to/bring with me. Afterwards I check if the numbers are the same.
Feels like I look crazy when you keep whispering “three, three, three” to yourself.
Making lists and time blocking
Notifications from Google calendar - if it’s not there, I will forget.
Also, in terms of motivation - if I don’t have a purpose and a goal (however small or insignificant it may be) - then I will be stuck and won’t be able to do literally anything. So I always need something to work towards.
Whenever I close something that locks, I touch the key that unlocks it first. This has saved me many times from locking myself out of the house and locking my keys in the car or trunk
Since the calendar has already been mentioned, I’ll drop another of my tools.
I check my pockets every time I leave a space, and confirm I’ve got Wallet, Keys, Phone. I do this at any transition: Leaving the house, a taxi, the office, a plane.
Got kick started into the habit when I lost a big (for a kid) chunk of money. Felt so bad that I started the checks, and haven’t lost any of those three in many, many years (ง’̀-‘́)ง
