Have you ever realized that you have forgotten something extremely important?  Have you ever just had a moment of “oh crap I can’t believe I didn’t do that?”  I’ve done it and seen many different people have those realizations…a bill, an appointment, a date, a test, a part of the process.  It always seems like those moments pop into your head, either just in time, or just a second too late, or at the most inappropriate/inopportune time.

What do you do when you remember, spring into action, or call around checking, or just put it back to the side for just another moment, realizing that it’s probably too late anyway?  What happens when you’re right at the finish line and then realize that you forgot that final lap, that one last step in the process.  I have found that this happens the most when you have a very extended time to complete something.  When you know you have a few months or even years, you just set it to the side figuring that you can take care of it later…and then it happens….the time is up and you either remembered or you didn’t…now what?
