Another good tip is to try a positive reminder. So, instead of: “Don’t forget the thing!” you’d rather tell your self: “I will totally take the thing!”
All these air fryer, broiler, sautéing, and other methods…
Y’all forgot about microwaves. Microwaves and veggies are amazing. Broccoli, carrots, etc. Microwave until a fork still has a little resistance. Add a spot of sour cream or honey and dill… Or something. Tada. So fast. So yummy.
Okay I microwave veggies a lot because it’s convenient but we cannot pretend that the fart cloud created by microwaved broccoli is in anyway close to the delicious crispyness of stir fried or baked broccoli
Sounds good. My parents make microwave potatoes often, and I have to admit they’re good. My microwave broke a couple years ago and I haven’t missed it, though.
The bible actually says there are other gods beside the main one; he’s the king of kings, god of gods. But maybe there’s an emperor of emperors, God of gods of gods? It’s gods all the way up.
Say you want to remember to take a particular bag with you when you leave. Close your eyes for 5 seconds and imagine something outrageous, surreal, balls out crazy. Only takes 5 seconds, but the crazier the image you make up the better.
For this one I might imagine my postman or UPS standing there when I open my door, with the bag covering his head. Or I might imagine that bag as a giant bag full of rabid weasels blocking the door.
You might not even see the image again, but you will remember the bag. Shit’s like magic.
I don’t use any long term memory tactics because if I’m doing it wrong, what I remember yesterday will blend with what I remember tomorrow, and if it’s different, I’m in a world of hurt.
It’s life changing. Unfortunately, how are you going to remember to remember?! I use mnemonics mainly when I don’t want to leave the house without something, but it’s worth practicing for any event. 5 seconds imagining something stupid is all I ask. Try it!
It’s hilarious when you walk up to the door and think, “Oh yeah, you’re going to camp, grab the .22 rifle mag.”, and you have no idea how that happened. LOL, sometimes you don’t see the pic, but somehow your brain does.
I try to work on my apathy but working on it means I’ve failed to be apathetic about my apathy. It’s the muscle that only grows when you use it without thinking about using it. It’s worse than Kegels.
I used to be a huge Kliban fan back in the day. I’ve still got various t-shirts with his art on them.
From memory:
a cat wearing a Japanese headscarf presenting (/selling?) sushi
2 karate cats getting into it; one has the other by the tail
a cat dressed as a sumo wrestler
a cat playing the guitar and singing the blues: “Love to eat them mousies / Mousies what I love to eat / Bite they little heads off / Nibble on they tiny feet”
That last one is one of my all time faves. I would “sing” it to my friends whenever someone commented on my shirt, complete with the standard blues riff.
Another random one (not a t-shirt): 2 cats, one says “Mao”, the other points and says “Mousie dung”. It was a very oblique, random and context-free reference to Mao Zedong. So random, I think the only point of it was to illustrate the pun. If there was a clever political reference, it was lost on me.
