There is a famous quote that says, “Out of sight, out of mind” plus it couldn’t be more than true.
Personally, if something is not staring me directly in my face, I will forget about it.
This is why I depend so heavily on my smart phone for reminders. Frankly, I am not sure what I would do without my smart phone. I set all of my birthday reminders, doctor’s appointments, family events, luncheons and random repair tasks. For instance, I always forgot to change my Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C air filter because that was never something that was high on my priority list. Not to mention that the HEPA air filter is hidden inside the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit, so it’s not something that I see every day. And since the filter is out of sight, it’s never on my mind, plus will therefore be overlooked. Before I began using my phone for reminders to change my HEPA air filter, there were times that I wouldn’t change it for close to a year. And if you know anything about Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C units, air filters should be changed every 90 afternoons. It is necessary to change the HEPA filter every 3 months because if the filter gets clogged it could cause a lot of wear plus tear on a Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit. Furthermore, a clogged up filter can lead to bad air quality, not to mention higher energy cost. I have avoided all of these issues ever since I started setting a reminder in my phone; Other devices like Alexa plus a smart thermostat can help me with this as well… Use whatever works for you, however no matter what device you use, it’s smart to set reminders plus change your Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C air filter always.
