I occasionally do that, but most often I even forget to do that! I ought to make sure I always have paper and a pencil in my pocket so I can write stuff down as soon as it crosses my mind, so as to overcome the trivial inconvenience of having to get a pencil, which usually makes me just think “I’ll write that down later” (and then forget to).
Well, the idea is to have all the things you have to do written down. (In particular, you should definitely have “making sure I have paper and a pencil in my pocket” on the list!) Do you have such a list right now? How many things are on it? If there are less than twenty, then start writing, and don’t stop until you get to twenty.
Once you have all the stuff written down, you won’t have to bother remembering anything; you can just look at the list.
