To use a physical reminder, choose an item that will prompt you to practice your Plan. It's important that you follow these two guidelines:
Examples:
- Your perfume
- Your toothbrush
- Your mirror
- The buttons of your microwave
- Ceiling above your bed
- The back of your phone
- Your fridge
- The light switch of your room
- An item on your pillow (it should be moved somewhere temporary when you go to sleep)
Examples related to computers:
- The back of your laptop
- Your laptop charger (only if you see it 1-4 times a day)
- Renaming a file or folder in your computer. A suitable instruction might be to rename the file each time you encounter it.
- Use an application that pops up notes each time you enter a website. Try this one.
Examples related to doors and drawers:
- A drawer where you keep your personal stuff
- A drawer where you keep your cutlery
- A drawer where you keep sweets
- The door of my wardrobe, from the inside
- The handle of your door, from the outside
- The handle of your door, from the inside
- The handle of your car door, from the inside
Examples of items that we often take outside home:
- Your shoes
- Your credit card
- Your wallet
- Your house keys
- Your watch's buckle
Marking
After choosing your item, mark it item in a noticeable way, for instance:
- Sticker
- Board marker (e.g. for mirrors, windows, ceramics)
- Magnet
