How many times has your significant other gone passive-aggressive at you because you didn’t remember to buy something they asked you to? Guys, have you ever forgot to buy flowers for your girlfriend on your big anniversary? But girls, how many times you were in the supermarket buying groceries, and some red wine, but forgot to pick up a six-pack for your man even though he asked you to cause there’s a game that night?
Things like this happen more often than you’d like to admit, right?
Anniversaries are no good without flowers, and "World Men's Handball Championship” doesn’t feel right without the beer.
I don’t know about you, but little things like this always make me go nuts.
Well, I can safely say that the end of forgetting is here.
But first, let me ask you, does this scenario sound familiar?
It’s January 20th again. Your anniversary. And the match will be on at 9. So you made a deal with your girl. She won't get mad if you watch the game, even she'll buy you beer, if you won’t forget the flowers this time. But, here’s what happens. She did the shopping, came home, cooked your favorite chicken in curry, bought wine, lit the candles and now, she’s waiting for you patiently. You come home from work all tired, throw your briefcase and unbutton your shirt, and then you see the movie scene in your dining room and you get an imaginary hit in the head – you forgot to buy her flowers – again! So the same scenario from last year happens, she refuses to talk or, God forbid, admit that she’s mad, and you can’t believe how, for once you can’t remember this one simple task. But that’s not all. She was so tired from work, and so excited for the anniversary that she forgot to bring her shopping list, and forgot to put a six pack in the cart. So now you’re both mad at each other. The dinner gets cold, and you missed the first 20 minutes of the game while you blamed each other for your irresponsibility.
Your buddy MarkO is coming to the rescue!
Next time on your anniversary (or any other day) while you’re at work, instead of letting your busy schedule keep you from remembering, simply create a task that says “Buy flowers”, tag that florist as a location. You know, that little one, on the corner on the building across the street which you pass by 10 times a day but never actually notice, so on your way home you’ll get a friendly reminder from your buddy MarkO to buy the perfect bouquet of roses.
But MarkO can do even more than that. You can create and SHARE a task so you can help and remind each other of the important things you should do.
Instead of blaming your girlfriend for not getting your heavenly liquid, cut her some slack. She had a busy day too and still cooked for you, put on that dress and the heels you love seeing her in so much but are killing her feet. Yes, she remembered to do all that, but not your beer. So give her a hand. Create the “Buy beer” task, tag the liquor store where she usually gets the wine, and share it with her. That way she will be reminded to get the ice cold six-pack you crave.

So it’s a win-win. She’ll finally get the flowers you always promise to buy “ on the next anniversary”, and she’ll get you the beer she promises to get “for the next match.”
Now, tell me. Don’t you absolutely love MarkO already? :D
