Find Things FAST

FADE IN.

INT. SLEEPING ROOM - DAY

PETER opens and shuts handbags after handbags, and cardholders after cardholders.

PETER (V.O.)

(Frustrated)

Where have I put

my Kitaca card?

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I last saw it nearly

a year ago when

I flew back from

Sapporo.

Peter rechecks them inside out.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd) I've retraced where

it's supposed to be

for days. I tried to take

it easy as it's a small

thing after all.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

As I'm flying out to

Sapporo again in

a few days, I've the

urge to find it.

INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY

Peter chats with his WIFE.

PETER

I couldn't find my Kitaca

card. Have you...

WIFE

What's that?

Sighing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I know what I don't know. She doesn't know

what she doesn't know.

INT. STORE ROOM - DAY

Peter checks baggage after baggage.

PETER (V.O.)

It's highly unlikely

the Kitaca card would

be in them. I'm sure

I haven't lost it. I just

can't remember where

I misplaced it. Anyway,

let me put organised

again.

After emptying a baggage, Peter puts something inside.

PETER (V.O.)

I won't use the stuff

until there's a need

for them. It doesn't

matter they're out

of sight.

Then, something on a table nearby catches Peter's eyes.

PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd)

(Surprised and happy)

Oh my god! My Kitaca

card, my EasyCard and

an used Dubronick card

are all here!

Scratching his head.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

It's unthinkable I could

have placed the cards

just on the table. I

believe I wanted to put

them in a cardholder

but was distracted and

then forgot about them.

Peter takes a photo of the stuff, taps the What'sApp icon and send it with the message: I've found it!

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

From now on, I should

avoid misplacing my

stuff in the first place.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I used to misplace my

keys and car keys a

lot. Since I've been

putting them in the

same spots, the

problem goes away.

How can I do better?

What are the techniques?

Peter surfs the web, reads some small prints and watches several videos.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Visualization and

association are the

keys. I need to put

the new information

into the right memory

folder like a computer.

Pondering.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

But I've to use my

imagination to create a

mental hook that would

trigger my memory.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

In fact, I can be practical.

My trousers and shirts

have pockets. In my

trousers' left pocket,

I visualise my wallet

inside it. In the right one,

my phone. In my shirt's

pocket, my keys.

Reflecting.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

From now on, I'll be

FAST in remembering.

I try not to forget (F).

I'd take action to visualize

and associate (A). I

put myself in a mental

state (S) that would

trigger my memory.

And I'd do the knowledge

transfer (T) so as to

reinforce my capability.

Reflecting

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Finding my Kitaca card

not just makes me happy,

it has also motivated me

how to get better organized

and not to waste my

time/live to find misplaced

stuff!

Nodding.

FADE OUT.

The End
