Expect to forget.

It’s inevitable. We can’t remember everything – humans have a 0% success rate when it comes to making it through life remembering everything.

We’re human – we’re bound to forget something. We’ll naturally prioritize and maintain in our minds that which is most important, and the other stuff consequently falls off the plate.

So forget your expectations of perfection. Stop convincing yourself that you can get it all – that you can keep track of everything. You will forget. You will fail. And you will be better off for it.

So adjust the bar. Cut yourself some slack. Expect to forget.
