My headspace at work and my headspace at home divide me into two such totally different entities that trying to send reminders from one self to the other is like trying to pass communiques through the veil of the dead.
At home I tell myself, when I am at work I should do such&such; at work I tell myself, when I get home I should do such&such. These intentions evaporate like a volatile spirit from the body at the point of crossing over.
It's a bit like forgetting why you came into a room, and then forgetting that you've forgotten but suddenly being conscious of a total lack of purpose; and then, eventually remembering that you've forgotten and unable to remember why you came into the room, having to return to the other room to jog your memory. And then going back and forth between the two rooms unable to remember anything from the other side.
Except in this case the two rooms are my home and my office, and it happens every day.
