Forgetfulness often feels random, yet memory improves when cues, context, and review cycles work together. This seven-day bootcamp layers evidence-backed techniques with Chaos automations so you can remember commitments without burning out.

Day 1: Capture Everything

Forward important emails to Chaos and dictate any lingering to-dos. A University of York study found that verbal rehearsal combined with digital capture reduces prospective memory slip-ups.[1]

Day 2: Build Spaced Prompts

Ask the assistant to surface key tasks three times at increasing intervals. This mimics spaced repetition, helping your brain tag what matters.

Day 3: Sensory Anchors

Attach physical cues—a sticky note on your kettle or a tactile token in your bag—to your most crucial reminders. Pair them with the digital prompts for redundancy.

Day 4: Contextual Reviews

Schedule a Chaos check-in when you reach your co-working space or arrive home. The assistant can surface items tied to those locations alongside links to our inbox-to-action workflow.

Day 5: Memory Consolidation

Spend 15 minutes summarising the week’s achievements into a voice note. Studies on reflective practice indicate that verbal summaries strengthen synaptic retention.[2]

Day 6: Delegate to Automation

Activate Chaos’ email digestion so deadlines and follow-ups appear in your task queue without manual input. Label them with urgency tags to triage faster.

Day 7: Review & Refine

Look at the assistant’s recap and tweak any prompt that fired at the wrong time. Once you trust the system, your brain can relax—freeing bandwidth for deep work.

Stick with the routine for two more weeks to cement the habit. Memory thrives when supported by consistent cues and compassionate automation.
