I have a form that I use when a new medication is prescribed that will need to be refilled. I add the details and enter the refill date minus one week. I enter the call to the pharmacy to my "To Do" for that day by writing it in red on the monthly calendar. Yes, I use a lot of color coding. <br /><br />We do use the "House Rule" of writing it down, but I also add things to the organizer program on the laptop. If the note is made on someone else's behalf, then I have them watch me do those two things. Doing so makes both of us accountable, right?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-3503553040145015602014-08-22T03:53:29.979-05:002014-08-22T03:53:29.979-05:00I have the same problem with honesty!

So sometimes I just can't keep my mouth shut. :) But my friends who know this, appreciate it because I will speak up when they wish they were brave enough & I will be honest (but kind) about their hair/clothes. I have to use a spoon with my coffee, though. Stirring while the steam rises is part of what relaxes me in the morning. And with the presents, my husband would never go looking, and my kids are under the threat that any present they try to find will be tossed or given to someone outside the family. So far that has worked. :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192064538924964308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-18932807235945315122013-11-16T12:14:09.205-06:002013-11-16T12:14:09.205-06:00I've been doing two of those for years, cream ...I've been doing two of those for years, cream before coffee and barricading the door with my must-not-forgets. <br />But I will be adopting your box around the note title on my new planner. I may have to use rubber stamps though, I am a crafter after all. ; )<br />And as for writing it down as a guarantee, I think I'll adopt that as well. I've often told my mom if I don't put it in my phone it won't get done. But she thinks I'm on the Internet every time I'm on my phone (the nerve) so if she sees me wrote it in my planner, she will know I am committing to it. Yes, I think that'll work for her.yezeniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474206963830365458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-42589530542476892542013-11-16T09:38:36.316-06:002013-11-16T09:38:36.316-06:00Had to laugh at the one about writing it down and ...Had to laugh at the one about writing it down and having them watch you write it down.<br /><br />My son asked me to do something a while back and I didn't write it down. Of course, I forgot. He scolded me for it and I reminded him that he didn't watch me write it down. If he wants a guarantee that I'll remember, he needs to see me write it down.<br /><br />I like the idea about putting the important things on a post-it and you have to do them before you can move the post-it. I've actually thought about doing something like that for my high priorities.<br /><br />Oh, and all the stuff I post about on my blog is the absolute truth. I was taking a photo of my living room and there were some odds & ends in there that I thought about moving. But in the end, I left them. I always want to be real. I don't lie well either.pattygardner.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08465166654988101342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863557816383416771.post-13804340778130129202013-11-15T11:23:56.656-06:002013-11-15T11:23:56.656-06:00My pill sorter also lives in front of the coffee (...My pill sorter also lives in front of the coffee (in my case tea) machine!!
