Do you have any tricks for remembering things you need for work or study?

B Natural answer

Yes, I usually use a simple checklist for work and study tasks, especially when I have several things going on at once. If a task is due later, I put it into my calendar so I don't rely on memory. I also try to group similar tasks together, like reading, emails, or revision, because that makes it easier to focus. If I can see everything in one place, I'm much less likely to forget something important. It sounds basic, but it really works for me.
