Reminders to Myself

Posted on August 8, 2021November 2, 2022 by Tomek Kaczanowski

From time to time I put some “personal information radiators” to remind myself of some important things that I tend to forget. Right now my information radiator looks like this:

Notes to Myself
Reminders to Myself

The first card reminds me that I should focus on the most important things so that I don’t do urgent, but not-important stuff (BTW. 4DX to the rescue).

The second card is about finishing things that didn’t go as planned. I tend to despair when things don’t work as beautifully as I wanted them to. What is worse, I often abandon them in such a situation. So this card reminds me to collect myself and finish what I started.

The last card is related to my decision-making skills that I try to improve. It reminds me of a WRAP method that I learned from Decisive book by Chip & Dan Heath.

Does Information Radiator help?

It does (at least to some extent). Sometimes I need:

  • an extra push towards productivity,
  • a reminder that some things are worth doing even if you can’t do them perfectly,
  • a little help to make a better decision.

And a quick glance at my board helps.

P.S. I will surely change the content of my board after some time.
