Forget to Remember

Am I the only one, or does it seem harder and harder to remember things?

Long ago I made a barely-conscious decision to purge useless information from my brain. This was probably to make room for newer, more exciting information, such as the name of that cute girl over there or the latest interpretation of the Special Theory of Relativity.

It was a double edged strategy. I was able to process loads of new data, but the mundane, such as remembering to wear matching shoes, suffered.

I moved through life controlled by a CPU which more resembled RAM (random access, or temporary, memory) as opposed to archival hard-drive storage.

But oddly, I was able to conjure up weird pieces of exhaustively researched triviata which held my rapt attention for an intense half-life until they decayed and lay abandoned on the trail behind me.

Inquisitive, Forgetful Mind-Space

Such is the world inside my head. A place where fascination can be triggered by the profoundly mundane, held under laser and electron microscope until all secrets are revealed, only to be abandoned like a pregnant hillbilly girlfriend.

As an older fart, the strangeness of my mind-space becomes even more noticeable. Now I have old-timers disease as well as Einsteinitis. I know I should be drilling down to some essential truth, I just can remember what it is.

So here I am, like millions in my demographic, who can remember shit.

I am sure I get amazing amounts accomplished, I just can remember what they are.

Bounceback Server - Remedy for the Overtaxed Mind

Which is why I developed the Poingo Bounceback Server. Think of it as Ginko Bilaboa on steroids, except that it can be validated.

Heres how it works: When I send an email which requires follow-up, I send a copy (or a blind-copy) of the email to the Poingo Bounceback server.

Depending upon the interval I embed in the email address I use, a copy of my email will return to me at that interval, sent by the Bounceback Server.

If, for instance, I want the email to bounce back to me in one week, I copy the email to 1w@poingo.com. One week later, when I have thoroughly forgotten the incredible urgency of the project, my email reappears to refresh my decidedly unfresh memory.

At this point I will decide whether to issue yet another emailed hock-a-chinik (yiddish: "bang a kettle") or follow-up in some other way. If I send out a reminder email, again I will copy the Bounceback Server for whatever interval I think will make me look incredibly efficient to my nudgee.

Juggle Tasks Like Cirque Du Soleil

You might be surprised at the number of emails you could send out, even in one day, which would be be candidates for this type of reminder system. I send emails to the Bounceback Server between 5 and 10 times a day.

In addition, I also open emails bounced back to me from the Bounceback Server another 5-10 times a day. Lots of balls are kept in the air.

The bounced back emails typically come around midnight, so they are awaiting me when I start my work day. I quickly process them, deleting some completed items, following others, postponing others for a later date.

My projects maintain momentum. People know I care. Progress takes place.

I appear to be at the top of my game even though in truth I am operating on maybe one last badly worn, highly experienced brain cell.

I use Bounceback Server not only for business followup, but also for anything requiring remembering, such as buying birthday presents, changing furnace filters, paying estimated taxes or taking showers.

Ungodly Low Price for Earth-Shattering Value

This service is available to you for FREE. That is less than a small handful of bootlegged Aderals and it won attack your liver.

You can even send emails using up to three different email addresses, and the Bounceback Server will still recognize you as a friend.
