Many staff and students remember their reminders differently. Some write it down, some set alarms, others just try and remember it.
Mrs. Del Conte, Hamburg’s career specialist, writes her reminders on sticky notes and note pads. She says “if I do not write it down, I do not remember it.” Other staff and students typically need to write it down somewhere to remember it; whether it be a whiteboard, paper, or on their arms.
Riley Mohn, a Senior at Hamburg, has to type important events in her alarms so she remembers them first. She also writes other events on a sticky note that is stuck on her glasses so she prioritizes those. She says “I can never remember to look at the sticky note, but I always look at my glasses, so that means I can remember the sticky note.”
Mrs. Jackson, the school’s choir teacher, writes everything down in her notebook that she has to do. Her motto is “If it is not written down, I will not be getting it done.”
Andrew Koval, a Senior at Hamburg, says “I usually just remember my tasks, especially things for school. When it is things at home, I usually write them down. I find I forget a lot more at home work than I do school work, that is just how my brain functions”
Landon Poulios, a Junior, uses objects to remind himself to do his tasks. He says “I usually carry the homework I have to do for school around with me until it is done, and if I have to bring it home, then I keep it with me. I also use objects like an empty milk container to remind me that I need to buy milk.”
