64                     Uses of the Peg and Link Systems
                care of at that moment,  considering  the  time and  place.
                When you think you have attended  to all your duties  for
                the day, go over  the Link,  and  if  there  is one  you've  missed,
                you'll know it immediately.
                  You can utilize the Peg system, of  course,  for the same
                thing.  Just  associate  washing the car  with your peg word
                for #1 (tie). You might picture yourself wearing a car
                instead of a tie. Now, associate

                                bank to Noah (#2)
                                letter to ma (#3)
                                dentist to rye (#4)
                                umbrella to law (#5)
                                perfume to shoe (#6)
                                television to cow (#7)
                                hardware to ivy (#8)
                                book to bee (#9)
                                watch to toes (#10)
                                eggs to tot (#11)
                  Use the link  to  remember the different  items you want
               at  the hardware  store.  You could even use the  Peg for this
               by  making another  set of associations. i.e. bulb to  tie; ham-
               mer to Noah, etc.  They wouldn't conflict at  all, but  it  is
               easier to use the Link.
                 Now, again, when you're ready  to  start  the day, think
               of your peg for #1  (tie).  This  will  remind you that you
               have  to get  the  car washed.  When  that's done, think of
               your peg  for #2  (Noah) and  that  will  remind  you to go
               to  the bank, etc. You  don't have to do  these in order,
               either;  simply keep going over the pegs, and  if  you've for-
               gotten  something, it'll stand out  like an eagle in a canary
               cage.
                 There  you  have it! No  more  excuses  to the wife that you
               forgot  to wash  the car,  or that  you  forgot  to buy  the eggs.
               As I mentioned before, we'll go further into methods for
