How do you remember things?
Avid checklist maker and scheduler! I 'schedule' everything into my calendar and set daily alarms for specific tasks to be completed. I also have a pinned note in my phone labeled 'ROUTINES' where I have my general morning and evening routine in checklist format and then daily routines broken down day by day. It's so satisfying to me to check something off a list!
Recipe you have written down or flagged in a cookbook.
A curry dumpling ramen is my go-to when I'm craving something warm.
Quote from a book you have highlighted.
A gift you’ll forever remember receiving or giving.
My most memorable gift ever given was a charm bracelet to my goddaughter when she was born. Each holiday, special occasion, new travel destination, etc. I add a charm to it. I cannot wait until she is older one day and we can sit together and chat through each charm, their meaning and special memories associated with them! Really looking forward to the day we purchase the first charm she chooses together!
What do you want people to remember about you?
That to me, the details mattered. The details are what make a difference. In both work-life and in personal-life. Whether that be a friend's coffee order, a work client's child's name, a favorite record playing when company is on their way over, the list is endless. The details are what makes us connect as humans and what make the little parts of the day more meaningful.
