You say everybody depends on you⦠but when do they get a chance not to?
You remember the appointment.
The deadline.
The form.
The call they were supposed to make.
And before they can forget, youāre already there:
āDonāt forgetā¦ā
āDid you do that?ā
āJust checkingā¦ā
Because somebody has to keep everything moving, right?
Except hereās the part nobody says to the woman who remembers everything:
Every time you remember it FOR somebody, they donāt have to experience what happens when THEY forget it.
And no, Iām not saying never remind your children, help your family or give somebody a heads-up.
Iām saying thereās a difference between helping somebody carry their responsibility and quietly becoming responsible for whether they carry it at all.
Because eventually you can end up frustrated, āWhy does everybody depend on me?ā
Meanwhile, youāre reminding, checking, following up and stepping in before the responsibility ever gets a chance to stay where it belongs. Thatās not blame.
Thatās something to notice.
Hereās your MOMentā¢:
The next time you remember something for somebody else, donāt immediately send the text.
Ask:
āWhat would happen if I remembered itā¦and let it remain theirs?ā
And... it ain't because you donāt care. Remembering something doesnāt automatically make it your responsibility.
If that question made you put your phone back down š, comment CHECK-IN and Iāll send you The MOMent⢠Check-In.
