Do you forget things.

Do you walk into a room. Look around the room and wonder what you went into that room for?
Do you go grocery shopping and decided not to write a list that you can remember everything. Than you get into the store and you do not remember anything that you wanted to get.
Have you ever wanted one thing so you go into a store and than you leave the store without the one thing that you went to get.
It is natural for all of us to forget something every once in a while.

Unless I am going to a store for just one specific item, I write it down. It's easy to forget things when you are in a hurry or stressed out, I learned that years ago.
Like you, I think it is more than natural for everyone to forget something, sometimes.

It just saves so much time and energy, so I refuse to go without my list.

Yep, I think most of us here can relate.

This seems to be happening more often to me lately. For example, I put on a mask to prepare to go out, then wander around looking for a mask! Oh my God !

I'm always forgetting odd things. My memory is quite good overall but there are lots of times I'll forget a word or forget what I was doing. I forgot the word for cooker yesterday and I called it a hot fridge!

@jstory07 Sometimes I will say that I need to remember so much stuff that it pushes out some of what my brain deems less important!
There was an episode of The Simpsons in which a character said that every time they learnt something new, it pushed the old stuff out. I definitely feel like that at times!

It's called being human. We're not robots, we're not designed to remember everything.

@jstory07 I don't see it much of a problem.

I was born scatterbrained and had a relapse. 
Seriously, if they had tested me “back then” they would have probably diagnosed me with ADHD. The caboose is always dislodging from my train of thought. I’m not worried about it, because as I said, it’s not a “getting older” problem
I’m sorry, what was the question?

I love the photo of the geese, I try to train my brain every day. I find that if I do forget something sometime later it pops into my mind, I order groceries online once a month and always before that I have a list ready and I can pick and choose what I want do I know how much it will come to and I get most of what I need,

I always take a shopping list. Some days I think I need a note to go to another room

I cannot do without lists. I can reach for a piece of paper and a pen and forget what I was going to write down. Sigh.
