The moment you are assigned a task, it looms in your face: big, important, unforgettable. However, if often does end up being forgotten. Oops! We’ve all been there. So write it down, make it memorable (hand-drawn visuals, however ridiculous, are effective) and make tasks stand out somehow so when you come back to your notes it’s clear what you still have to do. This could be in some task-management software, a google doc, Word, Notepad, or an actual paper notepad. The important thing is that you have a written log somewhere.
