A must-see solution for people who can't remember their schedules. How to create a "smart system" that doesn't rely on memory.

"Oh, I completely forgot about today's plans..."

Have you ever had that experience? There are people in the world who can memorize their entire schedule perfectly, but they are a very small minority. Most people forget something in the midst of their busy daily lives.


*Hand-dyed canvas.

I myself have always been a very forgetful person, but now I rarely have to worry about forgetting my plans.

This is not because my memory has improved, but because I have created a system that allows me to forget.

Stop relying on your memory

The solution is surprisingly simple.

  1. The moment you decide on something, you can enter it into the synced calendar . You can do this on your smartphone or PC. Just enter it as soon as you have decided on your plans.

  2. By using the notification feature as your "memory" and setting it to notify you a little before an event, you won't have to use your brain's resources to remember it.

  3. All you need to do is get into the habit of checking your notifications frequently , and then check the notifications that come in on your smartphone. That's all it takes to complete your schedule management.

By replacing the uncertain effort of "remembering" with the reliable action of "entering," you can eliminate the "anxiety about forgetting" from your life.

Commonalities of "smart design"

This story may not seem directly related to SOLAHANPU's product design, but the underlying idea of "making actions smarter" is surprisingly similar.

For example, the card slots on Tenuis and the size of Minim are designed as "mechanisms" that allow users to naturally organize things and move around easily without even thinking about it.

Rather than relying on willpower and determination, we can improve the quality of our lives and actions through systems. If this kind of "smart design" could be applied not only to our possessions but also to how we use our time, our daily lives would become more free and fulfilling.
