When I was a kid and an adult gave me a message to relay to another adult, I would repeat the message out loud over and over on my way to the person I was supposed to deliver the message to. Usually the recipient would hear the message before I “told them” because they heard me repeating it as I approached.
My version is doing options 1 and 2 on the list, but repeating them anyway, because if I try to focus long enough to change the list to remove something from the list rolls the dice on forgetting everything that was in the list…
This is exactly how I grocery shop. I look at the list, memorize the next 3 things, and repeat them mentally until I get them. Then I have to look at the list again.
