Whenever there is something that I'll need to remember in a few minutes time, say, 2 -15 mins away, I turn my top screen down so that I can still see it but have to look a bit harder than normal. It is perfectly safe because I can still see it ,but it is annoying as hell and I don't forget to stop the fuel cross-feed or make that radio call etc etc because I can't wait to turn it back up. Before I had screens I used to rest my hand on the glare-shield, it's fairly comfortable but still acted as a reminder to do whatever it was I was trying to remember. Probably not for everyone but works for me
