What do you do to help you remember your own advice?

7 comments

1. practice it.

2. Mutter to myself.

3. heaps of notes. and reminders on my phone. and sometimes i have told my wife to remind me.

4. I say out loud “I don’t knooowww”

5. Try to imagine myself giving advice to a friend or patient with my exact problem and often face-palming as a solution comes to me so easily when it’s someone *else’s* mess. It’s just hard to be objective when it’s you and your own life, but that thought exercise helps me.

6. Play flashbacks.

7. “Do as I say, not as I do” I never follow my own advice, common fail amongst us village idiots
