Whenever I need to remember something for a short period of time, I’ll move my wedding ring from my left hand to my right one. Since it feels so strange, it encourages me act on whatever it is as soon as possible. As a result, I have a few ‘rules’ that I utilize:
- Use it for only one thing at a time (no overloading)
- Either do it or capture it (in OmniFocus)Â soon
- Reassure my wife that I still love her
So, when you see me move my ring from one hand to the other, you don’t have to wonder.
