Burned 3 batches of cookies in one afternoon
Last Tuesday I tried to multitask by prepping dinner while baking and forgot to set the timer on each tray. How do you guys keep track of multiple things in the kitchen without burning everything?

Timer is a lifesaver now. I set one for each thing and write it on a sticky note stuck to the counter.

The million dollar question though is what happens when you forget to set the timer (which I do, constantly). I have this problem where I'll set a timer for 15 minutes, get distracted, and then the timer goes off and I have no clue what it was for. That sticky note idea is genius actually, because it solves that exact problem. I might steal that, but knowing me I'll lose the sticky note too.

So what happens when the sticky note gets lost or the timer goes off and you're in the middle of something else entirely? @the_fiona's system only works if you actually stick the note somewhere you'll see it later. My problem is I'll write the note, set the timer, then immediately walk away and forget both exist. The timer goes off and I'm like "what was that for?" and the note is probably under my laptop somewhere. Have you tried putting the sticky note right on the timer itself? That way you can't miss it when the alarm goes off.
