I’ve never had a very stellar memory. One day, I’m going to remember that.
…I make no apologies. That was funny.
I tell myself, and my family, that if there’s something I need to remember to write it down. I keep notepads at my desk for this purpose. That way, when I inevitably forget something, I can go back and look it up.
Ironically, this most likely came about through my day job. Everything needs to be written down and catalogued when handling mail, and somehow I’m able to remember the exact day a customer moved onto my route, and yet I can’t recall if I had moved my keys from the desk to the counter (when they’re in my pocket).
Now, I have a Side-Arc session this evening, and I’ve written out how I want to present the story for the player. But in the chaos of wrangling my two kids through their evening routine, I forgot to write down a note to give that player necessary information for his character. Until I made it to work this morning.
So, there was a panic.
I think I’m going to set aside a page somewhere around here that’ll show what I’m working on and it’s priority placement. That way, a player needing something from me can notify me and it not get lost in the shuffling cards that is my memory.
Cheers, readers. Stay safe out there!
