Have you ever forgotten something important?
Yes, I have. Once I forgot a dentist appointment because I thought it was next week. I felt bad and had to make a new booking. After that I started setting reminders on my phone.
Yes — a while ago I missed an important work meeting because the time completely slipped my mind. It was awkward and I had to catch up afterwards, so I learned to set at least two reminders and to check my diary each morning. That experience really changed how organised I am now.
