This reminds me of the guy who was telling his friend about the memory class he went to and how to associate things with memory. His friend asked him and the name of the class and he says, what's that red flower with the thorns called. Friend says "Rose?" Guy says yeah Rose, then says to his wife, hey Rose what was the name of that class we went to.
Kinda reminds me of myself.

Ok, so the wife and I are outside all day yesterday doing small jobs, getting ready for winter. During the course of the day I kept coming up with items I need to pick up at the store for future jobs. I know I had about 6 or 7 items I need and this morning I can only remember about half of them. How do you guys remind yourself of what you need? These are those small items like lag screws, a can of spray paint, razor blades for the utility knife, one 2x4 etc.....

I used one of those little pocket size digital voice recorders. Problem is to remember to put it in my pocket when a go out the door. And to be sure the battery is good.:laughing:

Wife and I went to the grocery store yesterday and got home and were missing the 17 lb. Turkey we had bought...Called the store and the lady said...Oh yes..we have your turkey , you forgot it in your basket...

The wife got in the car, it was cold and wind was blowing at 20 MPH, so I unloaded the cart into the car...Now how did I miss a 17 lb. Turkey...? I drove back to the store and picked up....I still swear the turnkey must have flown away...

I carry a little not pad and pen and jot notes....but how did I miss the turkey....had to have flown away...

I've wrote stuff down since my 20's, hasn't gotten worse but hasn't gotten better. Also if I write stuff down, I only get what's on the list. If I go to the store without the list who knows what I'll bring home. This holds true for hardware store as well as grocery store.

I have a white board in my work van . I simply write down anything that i need when i think of it at the time while outside. If not handy, i leave a message on my calander function on my cell phone

Yep, good case of C.R.S. syndrome. That is the one thing I can remember.

I have a chalk board and a pegboard in the garage for needed things. My family also uses this list for presents for x-mas, birthday, fathers day, etc.

My son gave me his old Iphone4. I have found so many uses for it in the month I have had it. I cannot figure out how I got along without it all these years.
Using Voice Memos has been the biggest help. No more written list. That I cannot read my writing.
