Use Two Reminders to Take Action

Stop thinking reminders work the way you've been using them. Most people set one reminder,

ignore it when it pops up, and then completely forget what they needed to do.

Here's what actually works. Set two reminders instead of one. The first reminder

tells you what task is coming up. The second reminder comes five minutes later and tells

you to start immediately. No more excuses. For example, set one that says do homework at six.

Then another that says start homework now at six oh five. It sounds too simple to work but it completely

changes how you follow through. Your brain needs that second push to actually take

action. Try this method today and see how much more you actually get done.
