Today, there are a million things going on and it's easy to forget things.
This leaves us feeling overwhelmed and frustrated.
Writing things down is the easiest way to stop worrying about forgetting things.
Here are 6 ways you can stop forgetting things with Twos ✌️.
Write things down ✍️
Throughout the day, there are a lot of instances where we think of something we want to remember. Writing something down is the best way to remember it.
This is why, every day, Twos automatically loads a list for Today, so you can quickly write down anything you want to remember: todos, reminders, names, recommendations, and more.
For example: Call Joe
The simple, yet intentional act of writing something down helps you remember it.
If you want to remember a list of things, you can create a new list in the top right corner. Once you give your list a name, you can write down anything you want to remember - like items you need to pick up from the store.
Search 🔍
It's easy to forget details. For example, the name of someone you want to call.
With Twos, you can easily find things you want to remember by searching a keyword or phrase.
Let's say you can't remember who you needed to call, you can search "Call" at the top of the screen and you'll remember to call Joe.
If you're at the grocery store, and you can't remember what items you needed to pick up, you can search "grocery" at the top of the screen and you'll remember the items you need to pick up from the store.
To-dos ✅
We constantly think of things we need to do, and unless we write them down, we will quickly forget them.
In Twos, you can quickly create a to-do item to help remember anything you need to do.
You can create to-dos by using the plus button at the bottom of the screen and clicking on "To-do" or using a keyboard shortcut, by typing "[] ". This is the same functionality on the Twos mobile app, which can be found by searching "Twos" on the App Store.
If you've already written something you want to do, you can use the keyboard shortcut by typing "[] " at the front of it.
And you can see all of your to-dos, across all of your days and lists, in your side menu, so you'll never forget anything.
You can use to-dos to plan projects and create checklists so you'll never forget anything.
Reminders ⏰
If there is something you want to remember at a specific time, you can use Twos to set a reminder.
Reminders are great for remembering birthdays, meetings, and events.
To create a reminder, you can use the plus button at the bottom of the screen and then click the "Reminder" button, or set a reminder on something you've already written.
Let's create a reminder to call joe by clicking the "Select" button to the right of it, clicking the "Reminder" button at the bottom of the screen, and setting a date and time to receive the notification.
You can create repeating reminders for birthdays and set alerts if you want to receive a notification before it. Alerts are useful to remember things before it's too late.
You will receive a notification from Twos reminding you of the things you wrote on your phone, iPad, and apple watch.
Now, it is easy to stop worrying about remembering things in the future by setting a reminder in Twos right when you think of it.
Bookmarks 🔖
If you create an important list or write down a lot of important information on a day, you can have quick access to that information, by bookmarking the list to the top of your side menu.
Bookmarks are great for lists you use a lot and to keep track of current projects.
To bookmark a list, click on the bookmark to the left of any list's name.
Let's bookmark our grocery list because we will be going to the store soon.
Now, you can quickly find your grocery list at the top of your side menu.
And when you're finished with it, you can click on the bookmark to remove it from the top of your side menu.
Stars ⭐️
Some things you write down will be more important than others, for example, your address after you move somewhere new, or a tv show someone recommends you watch.
For these important things, you can star them by clicking on their dash and you can quickly find your stars in your side menu.
Let's star toilet paper because its very important.
You can see all of your stars, across all of your days and lists, in the side menu.
We can see someone recently recommended I watch the General Magic documentary.
Once you no longer need a star, you can unstar them, by clicking on the star.
Now, you can easily remember important things you write down.
