The direct route from our house into the rest of the world is shut for three weeks for resurfacing, necessitating turning left instead of right and doing a loop round the village to get out. We live within the “access only beyond this point” zone so when I come out of our drive there are no signs to remind me. Every day I forget, and end up having to do a three point turn at the closure and go back.
I decided I needed to tape a “road closed” note to my dashboard.
Trouble is, I whenever I get into the house, I instantly forget about writing the sign and putting it in the car, so it hasn’t materialised.
I’ve just put an alert on my phone to remind me to write the note to remind me about the road closure.
Just need to remember to act on the alert when it pings, rather than my usual action of look at it, quiet it, then get distracted and immediately forget what it was I was supposed to do.
It’s all downhill from here….
