Double-checking beats reworking: Double-check your assumptions about a project or task to ensure you fully understand the requirements and expectations. Make it permanent: Create a permanent record by writing things down so you can reference your notes in the future. Use drop zones and launch pads: Use launch pads placed in consistently used drop zones to store essential items and ensure you don’t forget to bring them with you. Count on it: To build a routine, name it and its associated number of tasks—then say both out loud to recall the required actions.
