Visible
Easier to re-check than a fleeting thought.
Prospective memory works better when the reminder lives where you actually look
The Science of Prospective Memory
Prospective memory is the ability to remember to perform an action at a future time. It is the bridge between intention and action.
In daily life, many of these tasks are small, repeated, and easy to lose: did I already take my medication, do I still need to send that message, did I lock the car, did I finish today's habit?
The Problem: Fleeting vs. Persistent Cues
These tasks are vulnerable because they compete with whatever currently has your attention. If the cue is weak, delayed, or buried in a long notification list, the intention can disappear.
Why External Cues Help
An external cue reduces the amount of memory work your brain has to do. Instead of rehearsing the intention internally, you offload it into the environment.
Persistent
Better than one-time alerts. Wrist cues offer a continuous signal.
At Point of Action
Visible during the exact moment of decision.
