Once you get busy at work, do you feel like your brain is running out of energy? Things that were decided with colleagues in the morning were completely forgotten in the blink of an eye; the report that was due to be submitted in the afternoon was not remembered until the leader urged it; that crucial anniversary was not suddenly remembered until I saw Moments on the same day… Our brain is like an overstuffed drawer, and important things will always slip to the bottom inadvertently. But don't worry, solving this problem is easier than you think. The secret is: let the reminder appear directly in front of you.

Yes, that's your computer desktop. Put important things openly in the most conspicuous place on the desktop to remind yourself in the simplest way. Imagine if there was always a transparent area on the desktop that clearly listed your today's tasks, this week's plans, and the scattered information that needs to be remembered, would everything be completely different? You no longer need to think hard, you can know the key things at a glance.

Spend the long wait in a smart way

Modern people have modern technology, but the ancients before them did not, but they used the same wise methods to survive the long time. Just like the "Counting Nine Cold Days" that begins at the winter solstice, in order to kill time in winter, the ancients created the "Nine Nine Cold Days". They will draw a plum blossom with eighty-one petals, and dye one petal red every day starting from the winter solstice. When all the petals are dyed red, spring will come. Or, choose nine words with nine strokes, such as "The weeping willow in front of the pavilion cherishes the spring breeze", and paint a stroke of red in order every day, using this ritualistic method to record and cherish expectations. The essence of this ancient time management method is to remind yourself that even the longest wait can be completed step by step with the help of clear markers.

At present, we can also draw a modern "cold relief picture" for our own work and life.

Create your “modern anti-cold picture”: minimalist and transparent desktop reminder

The core of a successful desktop reminder list is to blend into the environment and be visible at all times. What we need is not an independent software window that requires a lot of effort to open, but a transparent plug-in that can achieve a perfect integration with the computer desktop wallpaper. It can be seen clearly when the computer is turned on.

In order to seek efficient management methods, you can try to create multiple desktop lists to distinguish to-do items. For example, separate the so-called "work projects", "personal affairs" and "inspiration records", and use the label function to classify different to-do items or notes in their own dedicated lists. In this way, your desktop can be transformed from a chaotic state like a pot of porridge to a clear and orderly appearance.

A desktop list with intelligent features should understand the wisdom contained in "automation". It not only allows you to easily arrange the order of tasks by dragging the mouse, but also helps you remember the rules with repeated situations in an intelligent way. Whether it is a weekly meeting or a birthday calculated according to the lunar calendar every year, you only need to set a flexible repetition rule, and it will generate reminders for you on time and will never forget the phenomenon again. For tasks with deadlines, set a specific date and time to be achieved, and a countdown label of "X days left" will automatically appear on the list, thus creating an accurate and appropriate sense of tension and urgency.

As long as you focus on the screen, this plug-in on the desktop is your most loyal and reliable guardian; however, once there is a need for temporary hiding, it can move towards the edge of the screen very quickly and then disappear on its own, or become invisible in an instant with the help of a shortcut button, thereby perfectly protecting your privacy.

Work is not done yet, planning comes first

Place the important tasks for the coming week securely on the desktop, the important tasks for the coming month securely placed on the desktop, the meeting schedule for the coming week securely placed on the desktop, and the meeting schedule for the next month securely placed on the desktop. You are no longer the tired person chasing a deadline, but a person in control who can calmly plan for the future. Those important but not urgent things finally have the opportunity to be put on the agenda; the boundaries between work and life become clearer due to clear planning.

This is not simply setting a few reminders on the desktop, but making a more proactive, calmer, and more efficient work philosophy choice. What you invest in is downloading a tool and spending a few minutes setting it up; what you get in return is a clear, smooth workflow, and the relaxation that comes with it.

Take action now, download and experience it right away. Starting from organizing your computer desktop, you can calmly take the first step towards an efficient and orderly life.
