Hey there! So you know how sometimes you just gotta remember stuff but your brain’s like “Nope, I’m on vacation”? Yeah, me too. It’s like my head is a big ol’ balloon that floated away without me. So, I thought why not share the secret of making temporary notes for quick reminders? They are super helpful and, honestly, you can make them as silly or as serious as you want. So grab your favorite snack and let’s dive in!
Let Your Brain Take a Break
Okay so first off, relax. You’re not trying to write the next best-seller here. Temporary notes are meant to be quick and dirty. Just jot down whatever comes to mind before your brain decides to take another detour! Like:
– Buy milk
– Call Grandma
– Don’t forget that embarrassing thing you said at the party (but if you do forget it, all the better)
See? Easy peasy!
Pick Your Weapon
Next step is to pick how you’re gonna make this note. You could use sticky notes, your phone, or even write it on your arm if you’re feeling wild. Just don’t be that person who writes stuff on their forehead – that’s a bit extreme… unless it’s really important like “Do NOT eat last slice of pizza.”
Color Code Your Life
Here’s where it gets artsy-fartsy! If you’re using sticky notes or paper, grab some markers and go nuts! You can make colors mean different things. Green for groceries, red for urgent stuff like “OMG there’s a spider!” And blue for random thoughts like “What is the meaning of life?” Make it pretty so you actually want to look at it—because nobody wants boring reminders.
Write Like You’re Texting
And when you write your reminder, do it like texting your BFF who totally gets you. Short phrases work best because who has time for long sentences? Just make sure they don’t confuse anyone else… unless confusing people is part of the fun! For example:
– “Milk” = buy milk
– “Mom” = call Mom (duh)
– “Frog costumes” = remember to wear them on Friday
Tell Someone
But wait! Your reminder shouldn’t be a secret! Share it with someone else – maybe your roommate or that friend who’s always late. Tell them about your temporary note adventure so they can remind YOU if you forget any of the important stuff on there! Plus, sharing is caring…unless it’s ice cream…keep that to yourself.
Set an Alarm
If you’re using your phone to make temp notes then set an alarm too! Just say something classic like “Remember to check temp note at 5 PM.” Then add a little panic emoji if you want (but no emojis here). This way when it goes off you’ll be reminded about whatever total chaos you’ve written down.
Review Your Notes
Finally, take a moment each day (or week or month—no pressure) to look through those bad boys. Laugh at the silly ones and actually do something about the urgent ones—like wash that two-week-old t-shirt laying chair by chair in your room. If it’s driving without any speed limits through your mind then revisit and update as needed.
