MEMORY
Are you frustrated because someone in your family keep forgetting
things or you information just does not sink in? Well, the more ways
you deliver the information, the more likely he or she will remember.
Tell him.
Write it down.
Send a follow-up email (Yes, intra-home emails!).
Leave a voicemail for her.
Show the situation so that she can act on what she sees, not just on
what you tell her you see.
Ask what he thinks should be done. He will remember the conclusion he
draws better than any solution you come up with.
If there is anything visual, such as a map, draw it.
So, “Honey, don’t forget to pick up milk”, “uh-ha”
becomes….
1. Honey, don’t forget to pick up milk.
2. Here’s a reminder note (a drawing of a carton of milk)
3. Come to the fridge. See, there’s just a couple drops left, what
do you think we should do?
No need to be frustrated when you can make sure that the forgetful
one remembers.
