    If I choose to do something later, put it physically in the way.

    Trash needs taking out, but I’ll do it in the morning? Put it in front of the door.

    It is both a reminder and an obstacle to overcome.

      I call this “physical memory”. If you struggle with remembering things, you can organize your space to augment your memory. It’s VERY effective and is often simpler/easier than writing things down.

      Also, if you are living with someone who does this, for the love of god, do not move their stuff without asking. You are basically erasing part of their memory and setting them up for failure.
