Re: "where did I put that" -- I got a set of Apple airtags recently and they've been a godsend. I also have an apple watch, so via the watch I can find my phone, and via the phone I can find my wallet/keys/etc... They're awesome.
Re: reminders, one thing I've noticed with any sort of reminder system based on alerts/notifications, is that while they work for a while, eventually my brain just starts ignoring the alerts. I honestly have no great solutions for that. This applies to any sort of organizational system I've tried, actually.
- mysterydip 5y agoYes exactly! The alarm goes off that says "empty the dishwasher" and my brain says "yup it's 7:15," then goes on to something else before I digest what the alarm is for. I'll definitely check out airtags, thanks!
- rStar 5y agowhat i love is how apple takes advantage of my disability to steal all of my privacy with airtags and find my. i use it all the time but i f apple under my breath every time.
- smoldesu 5y agoTrust me, it's not just your disability: Apple takes advantage of all their customers equally, regardless of race, gender identity, sex or financial status.
- rStar 5y agoyeah but because you give up so much privacy with airtags and find my that it feels targeted at me as someone who forgets where stuff is, all the time.
- dboreham 5y agoAn ever-louder alarm that eventually electrocutes you will work. It'd need to be location-aware so it knows that you really did unload the dishwasher.
- chrsig 5y agotry finding a positive association to attach to the alarm -- some form of dopamine hit or something so you can start to look forward to the alarm (then you get the self control issue of not going for that dopamine hit every time it pops into your head!)
