Remembering

August 15th, 2012

I know you’re supposed to tie a string around your finger to help yourself remember something, but that doesn’t work for me. Instead I draw (or in this case stamp) a little ant or spider on my hand. Every time I glance at my hand throughout the day and yell, “Ahh!!! Get it off! Get it off!” I remember why I drew it there in the first place. It works like a charm!

  1. I love this idea!
    I will be copying this – hope you don’t mind.

    this is too excellent. i’ve tried the string thing before, but it usually ends in “nooooo i was supposed to remember SOmEThING… but WhAT??”

  4. i’m so glad i’m not the only one! my ankles are always covered!

  5. I do this too! I’m currently wearing off last night’s shopping list. I’m a hard core visual learner, so seeing myself write it helps a whole lot, and writing it on my hand keeps me from losing the list. Love the ant!

    that’s brilliant!

  7. adorable and such a smart idea!

  8. I love this – and it looks completely cute…
    Maybe you should consider a tattoo of that cute little ant?
    :)

  9. Genius!!!

    I always write on my notes on my hand as a anatomical post-it, but an ant is sooo much cuter!

    This is so much more fun than writing things on your hand/wrist!

    Thats a great idea!!! :) Love it, and it looks like a cute tattoo.

  12. Such a cute way to jog your memory!

  13. Haha – that’s awesome. I usually just write the word that I need to remember. This seems like a great game though…

  14. I LOVE this Amanda! So unique and great photos!

I love your comments more than I love chocolate (almost).
