    Hey James, Great post I like that tip. Given that I just wrote a post on self talk and the importance of how we phrase things I would start slamming that issue into the past.

    Ie instead of “I have a terrible memory”, try “I used to have a terrible memory, or I used to occasionally forget things”

    Better yet use “my memory gets better everyday”.

    I’m a systems person so if I forget something once I create a system so as not to let it happen again.

    For instance before i leave the house I check that I have my keys. I usually wear them on my right belt loop for easy access or right pocket or I hook them inside of my purse, they are rarely just thrown in a bag.

    A woman can loose a lot of time looking for keys in a purse lol.
