To protect myself against bouts of momnesia, I write things down. Probably you do too, right?
But here's the problem: Sometimes I can't make any sense of what I wrote. I'm in a rush, I jot something down in shorthand, then return later have NO IDEA what it means. The only thing I remember is that it was *important*.
For example, here are four mystery items currently on my to-do list:
-
Tea
-
Blade
-
Reunion 10/12
-
Invitation!
I don't know what these items are referencing; I don't know where they originated. It's somewhat stressful, really.
Perhaps some day I will learn that I was invited to a reunion on October 12 where tea was going to be served. And for some reason I needed to bring a switch blade. Who knows... In the meantime, I'll just keep it all on my radar screen.
