Enter good systems. I need them. My brain can't hold it all, so my systems need to. This is one reason I love Getting Things Done (while I was committed to practicing it, for approximate 46 days - must work on that) - the system takes the pressure off your brain, and puts it in the system. Love it. The book is 35% off at Amazon right now - good time to buy if you're interested!
Anywhoooooo… back on track.
I keep a grocery list in my phone's notepad. Super high tech, I know. Leave me alone.
My phone is always near me, and whenever I notice I'm getting low on a spice, ingredient, kitchen item, I stick it on my list and forget it.
This has worked famously for me so far… when I'm at Target, I pull up the list, and voila! - my list.
I was at Target this weekend, getting my groceries, and pulled up my list. GROCERY LIST FAIL. AUTO-CORRECT FAIL.
What. Is. RIGEL?!
My system has failed me a little bit here, people. Let's be honest and say I have no idea what I typed that would have resulted in a RIGEL auto correct, but you can be sure that while I'm cooking some amazing recipe, we'll figure out what rigel was, when I don't have any OREGANO (or some other vital ingredient that there are no viable substitutions for).
I'm leaving it there for now, in case by some miracle I remember what I wrote, but we can all be sure I'm going to keep an eye on auto-correct from now on. Geesh.
