Not entirely related to little tasks from meetings, but when I need to remember something eg. the next morning but I'm already in bed and dont want to get up to write it down etc, I find that a quick way to remind myself is to take something nearby, for example the book on my nightstand or just a crumpled tissue or two, and throw it on the ground where I'll see/stumble over it the next morning and think "why is this here" and then remember.

My house / office is too cluttery for this to work well for me. It's a good idea though.
Keep a torch and a fire extinguisher next to the bed. Burn a random piece of clothing and put it out.

The next morning wonder why you have fire extinguisher dust everywhere and you'll remember!

Now that's a great idea. How do I turn off comments? This one is the winner.
I'm glad you like it! It web scales indefinitely as long as you have new things to burn to increment the burn index. Want to remember two things the next morning? Burn your shirt and pants! Easy peasy.

First Alert even makes a handy portable fire extinguisher that's perfect for your bedstand: https://www.firstalert.com/us/en/products/fire-extinguishers...

All this needs is a cryptocurrency that incorporates the externality of burning shit, and you’ve got a YC idea.
It needs to include AI somehow and then it's a YC idea.
