I can't remember my job. Tips to change the “hard days” of people with poor memory

 I don't have big ambitions like wanting to be very successful at work, but I want to do well somehow. Introducing "work hacks" that update the usual way of working.

In this work hack, writer Toyanna gives advice on the problem of "I hate working because I have a bad memory."

I hate working because I have a bad memory

I have a bad memory and can't remember the details of my work. So I'm always anxious and can't help but hate working. How can someone like me work safely?

Hi, I'm Toyanna.

Wow!  I almost cried out.
In terms of my memory, I'm also first class.
I make a note of important things, but I forget the place of the memo.

Therefore, I can't help but feel uneasy about working all the time, and sometimes I hate working. But it doesn't mean that the life you can live with unearned income will suddenly fall.

This time, I wish I could tell you a hint for such a person to work with peace of mind.

I admit that I can't help myself because I have a bad memory

First of all, people who have a bad memory are in some percentage of working people. And let's admit that I'm the type that has a bad memory.

Well, I wanted to see something that allowed me to dream high dreams. As an elite worker, I wanted to walk around the office in Marunouchi and be stylish and able to walk in with my employee ID card.

But I can't. It's okay to be yourself who can't be. Because there is no such thing as "a city made only by talented people" in this world. Even if you have a bad memory, it's okay to be in this world.

First of all, let's take ourselves seriously.

Decide where to put your notes

On Top of that, we will do what we can.

For example, I keep my notes in front of my computer. If you look at the keyboard, there will always be a memo in your line of sight.

And in the memo, there is a memo that says "Is it amnesia?" That's how I prevent omissions of tasks that need to be done today.

In addition, a memo was stuck to the entrance of the house, and it was written as "smartphone, wallet, key". Before leaving the house, make sure that your smartphone is OK, your wallet is OK, and your keys are OK!

And when I change my bag, I always forget something, so I try to stick to one type of business bag as much as possible .

And, by taking measures like this, I try not to interfere with my daily life even a little. Can you give me some reference in this regard?

Don't blame yourself too much, just take measures

Your poor memory is your "personality, characteristic". There is no point in blaming or complaining about it.

So, first of all, let's say a defiant statement aloud, "Well, you're a bad memory, aren't you?" Just saying it out loud should give you peace of mind.

Next, take concrete measures other than "be careful, be careful." Decide where to put your notes and unify your bags.

If you can't remember even if you pay attention, you can remind yourself with a memo. If you forget many times, you should unify your containers so that you can't forget them.

Let's protect ourselves with specific measures like this.

Point.

・Stay strong and say, “I have a bad memory, but it can’t be helped.”
・Don’t rely on your feelings, such as “Be careful, be careful.”
・Protect yourself by taking concrete measures, such as taking notes.
