“If It's Not in Front of Me, I Might Forget It.”
Q: How do you usually keep track of things you need to remember?
Drew: “My phone is full of reminders.
Which sounds like a good system until you realize I also have to remember to actually look at them.”
Q: What happens when you put something on your phone?
Drew: “I'll add it to my calendar and think, ‘Great, I'll check that later.’
Then I get distracted, move on to something else, and completely forget about it.
It's not that I don't want to remember. My brain just moves on.”
Q: Have you tried other reminder apps or systems?
Drew: “I've tried a lot of them. But most of them have the same problem: the reminder is there, but I still have to remember to open the app and look for it.”
Q: So what works differently with Everblog?
Drew: “It's visible.
I don't have to remember to check it because I see it when I'm in the kitchen. I might walk in to grab something and suddenly notice that I have an appointment that afternoon or something I need to take care of that day.”
Q: Does that make a difference for you?
Drew: “A huge one.
When something is right in front of me, I don't have to keep using mental energy to remember that I need to remember it.”
Q: If you had to describe what Everblog does for you in one sentence?
Drew: “I don't need another thing to remember.
I just need the important things somewhere I can actually see them.”
