As a matter of necessity, when working about God's little acres (*) I make it a rule to set myself a number of little tasks to do at one time, so that I don't end up needlessly walking a couple of hundred yards back & forth more than once. Taking all the tools I might need is another part of that.
But more & more I find I've forgotten to do the other things or one of them maybe.
OK so having recognised this I'm training myself to use the memory more. Instead of subcontracting a list to my phone I'm just trying to memorise what I have to do and calling it up. And it helps.
One of my biggest problems is remembering to shut gates. Repeatedly I'm asking myself did I shut that gate ( so the pony doesn't get out) and I'm not sure and have to go check.
I'm working on the principle that like anything else the memory needs exercise.

He would have been good in Dr Strangelove too but Sterling Hayden got the gig.
