See, this is why I can't trust myself. I had an important paper that I needed to sign for a school activity, so I specifically taped it onto my table, where I could clearly see it and I wouldn't forget about it. And then I forgot about it. My eyes just glossed right over it as if I didn't put it literally RIGHT THERE for that exact reason. I genuinely thought I lost it and was considering sending an email to the teacher to send me a new copy. This is far from the first time this has happened </3

#why am i like this #self help organisation tips online be like: “put important stuff in places where it would be hard for you to ignore!”#very nice advice op- unfortunately i am a fucking IDIOT who is WAY TOO ADAPTABLE and the moment I put my important stuff somewhere where I #couldn't POSSIBLY miss it #my brain is instantly like: welp- since that's there now- I don't have to put in the effort of remembering to do this thing now- since it's #RIGHT THERE- and I couldn't POSSIBLY forget about it now if it's RIGHT THERE. I'll be reminded of it everytime I see it being RIGHT THERE!#(<- spoiler alert: she forgot about it even though it was RIGHT THERE </3)#my abaility to just. gloss over things is. frankly baffling.#my post #sput chatters
