Answered for "How you manage lots of thing in a single day?"

I stopped trusting my memory and my productivity changed overnight.

Here’s the simple system I use now (and it works every single day).

I used to start my day thinking,
“I’ll remember everything.”
But I didn’t.
By afternoon, I was already forgetting small tasks.
And those small tasks hurt my client workflow at Panze.

So I changed one habit.
A very small one.

Now when I sit at my desk, I write down every task for the day.
Big, small, boring, all of it.
And when a new task comes to mind, I add it right away.
No waiting.
No “I’ll remember later.”
Because I won’t.

This one routine removed stress from my day.
No more last-minute rush.
No more “Oh no, I forgot.”
My brain thinks better when it doesn’t have to store anything.

Here’s how you can fix this too:

→ Start your day with one list, you can use notebook or app.
→ Add tasks the moment they appear
→ Don’t rely on memory
→ Review the list before ending your day

Your brain is for thinking, not storage.
Writing it down keeps you free.

    Love this. Same shift changed my day too once I stopped “remembering” and started writing, the stress disappeared.
