I dey forget things
Capture the thing once, then tie the reminder to time, to place, or to something wey you dey already do.
How e dey feel
E dey your head. Another thing come. E comot. Then later person ask about am and your belle go drop — because from outside, to forget dey look exactly like say you no care, and you no get way to prove otherwise.
Wetin fit dey happen
Two different things dey wey people dey call forgetting, and different fix dey for each one:
- To lose information while dem dey give you am — by the third instruction, the first one don go.
- To lose intention between to decide and to do — you mean to send am, you think about am two times, you no send am.
- Ordinary load: too many open loop, bad sleep, stress, or say people dey interrupt you every time.
- No single capture place, so things dey land for four different app and nobody dey check any.

Capture am, then give am cue
Pick the thing wey you go likely forget this week. Write am down once, for the one place wey you go actually check. Then attach am to something real — no be to “later”.
Write the thing down for your one capture place. Less than five seconds.
Choose cue wey genuinely dey happen: time wey get alarm, place wey you go physically dey, or routine wey you dey already do.
Talk am as one sentence: “When ⟨cue⟩, I go ⟨action⟩.”
If na physical object, put the object for your road — on top your shoe, for door handle, near the kettle.
Answer these three questions, we go turn am to steps.
