Oathtaking and oathbreaking used to be something of a big deal. How y'all feel about going back on shit you say? Does the involvement of a holy book change your answer?

I think preoccupation with truthfulness and propriety is probably good, but what is expedient very often does not align with that. So my word probably is not bond lol

    Damn, I might try that to not fuckin forget to do something two minutes after I'm asked to do it.

      I find it helps to try to write things down. I keep a notebook on hand and put anything important I need to do down in it.

        I mean like I hung up the phone call where I was asked to bring something, finished getting the dog on a leash to go, and that made me forget the thing I was just asked to bring. Not even enough time to write it down before its gone.

          If it's something important or someone you don't want to let down, repeat it back to make sure you heard it right. This puts it more solidly in your head and lets them know you are really listening. Then immediately write it down before starting another task.
