Reply to comment by Karlor_Gaylord_Cries in LPT Request: What are some things you can do to improve your forgetfulness? by Fkingmeow
Out of everything, keys phone wallet happens the least. Still happens but because I always say that I tend to avoid frustration with that. I'm talking about other stuff literally anything. And then I know I was gonna do something but don't know what it was and drives me nuts

I was taught to start signaling at least ten “clicks” before your turn. Not sure how much time that is but it’s enough to notify everyone around you.

Reply to LPT: Use your calendar as your to-do list. Assigning dedicated time to tasks increases the likelyhood of you acting upon it. by human_marketer
I completely agree. I’ve used around 20 types of reminders and to do apps to get more productive. But I only do things when I put them up on my calendar. And if I cannot do them at the assigned time, I just move the event to another time and get it done then. Definitely doubled my productivity!

My assumption is that the cloud services I am paying for are making at least 2 backups of my data. Can someone provide a good example of why I should store data physically? (not opposed to it, just need a good reason to make the investment)

Yes! Especially the 2nd paragraph! Hardly anyone seems to follow that where I live.

We learn from a handbook and take a test to prove we learned it where I'm from.

A turn signal when they’re already turning feels like them throwing a banana peel at me

They haven't actually. We learn to drive by watching the adults in our lives. If they teach us wrong, we don't know "better". Some people literally don't know they're doing it wrong, or at least that's the lie I tell myself to stay sane.

Honestly I just want to add that if you have any kind of data on an HDD AKA a spinning disc hard drive you need to migrate them immediately to solid state for sure I definitely would not rely on that for the long term in any way shape or form. The way that I have this situation set up is I have a cloud service with Google for $9 or so a month for 2 terabytes I have a Nas system at the house and then I also have actual regular hard drives that are static. Triple redundancy

No, they don't, but we all know they've been told.
