Hi all.

I've been having trouble remembering events and tasks because I often don't notice the notifications of my smartphone or computer when focused on something.

How do you all deal with this without continuously checking your phone and laptop?

And when I check my laptop or phone, I often stop doing anything else because I know something is coming up. And I often also start browsing or doing other things which was not my intention.

I have one of those cheap fitbit clones that let's me set named alarms and timers. When I have an important event coming up, i out it on my app and when it's time my watch will buzz and say 'event name" and remind me. No distraction necessary by picking up the phone to silence it and getting bogged down in notifications and games, scrolling, forgetting what I was doing, etc.
