The biggest lie I tell myself is not about new years resolutions.

The biggest lie I tell myself is “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it”
It’s likely older, but the oldest reference I could find was 2012 [WayBack].
So before I forget:
Happy New Year everyone!
With the above quote, it is no coincidence I started my blog even earlier (in 2009): it’s my off-line memory, way better readable than my hand-writing and indexed by various search engines.

PS:
- Inspired by [WayBack] Lars Fosdal – Google+
- Later I found back it:
- goes back as far back as at least 2001: “I don’t need to write that down, I’ll remember it.” – Google Search (from 2000 to 2005)
- might be inspired by [WayBack] The Beatles’ Christmas records – Wikipedia: 1966: The Beatles’ Fourth Christmas Record – Pantomime: Everywhere It’s Christmas which had a sketch involving Rubert Bear characters Podgy the Bear and Jasper:
“No need to worry, Jasper. You keep saying to yourself ‘matches’ and I’ll keep saying ‘candles’ until we reach the shop. Then we won’t need to write it down. We’ll remember.” “Who’ll remember the buns, Podgy?” “We both will, Jasper … Matches,” “Candles.” “Matches.” “Candles.” “Matches.” “Candles.” “Matches.” “Candles.” “Matches.” “Candles.”
