Stopping Time

Does this ever happen to you? It’s time to leave the house for an appointment. Just as you are ready to leave you remember something you wanted to do. Fearing you might

forget later, or just having that task calling out for attention, you turn back to take care of it. Something in your brain makes you feel like the clock is frozen while you’re back taking care of that task (and maybe even another one or two). Then you’re surprised that you end up being late.

It helps to have lots of clocks. Have a clock in every room. Look at them frequently. If something is important and you aren’t certain you’ll remember, write a note or send yourself a text or voice mail. Be sure to put those notes where you’re sure to see them.
