If you put something right in front of you so you don't forget it, will you forget it anyway?

I don't know how many times I have done that.

    Yep.   I go as far as writing myself lage notes and placing them where I must see them just so I wont forget... and I forget.

    We take food scraps to our job and put them in the nearby forest. We will place a note on the fridge, but forget them anyway.

      I’m confused. Why are food scraps being placed in the forest, and for whom? For the wild animals?

    :(

    Yes...for the critters. We put a well-picked chicken carcass there for the raccoons.

      Then what’s the purpose for the notes? Why are reminders needed?

    The note was a reminder to take it out of the fridge. We still forgot. It answers his question.

      Thank you for clarifying. I hope you realize that the order in which you wrote it is what caused the confusion. I thought you meant that you put food in the forest and then wrote notes about it, and sometimes forgot about it. I read your post the way you wrote it: chronologically.

    Many times. The worst one was when I misplaced my reading glasses in the classroom. I offered 5 pieces of candy for anyone who could find them. A student piped up "They're on your head."

    Did the student get the candy?

    Of course. They all knew I always had a bag.

    I guess I can forgive myself then.
