Do you remember everything or write down your daily tasks?

To be honest,I have been a bit lazy in preparing notes.It seems me boring.I just quietly remember works one after one that I have got to finish on a particular day.Thereafter I don't forget them.I think,remembering it depends on you.If you realize the importance of your works,you would never forget them.It is difficult,I admit,but you can remember it.

I have to write things down. I think I will remember but I don't. After my last accident my memory is shot. And I do journal so I can check back over certain dates and happenings. That helps me alot. Photos with the date and time would be really helpful wouldn't they?

There are many times I have been known to Write down lists of things I needed to get done, or things I need to do before important events, etc. I have even wrote down things like a Grocery list before shopping, etc. I personally feel there is nothing wrong with doing this, and if it helps you get more done in your life, and remember more things than keep on doing so.

When I was a child my grandmother has a picture on the wall of a native american woman that she said was full blood Cherokee and one of her grandmother's.My grandmother passed away when I was ten.Then when I was twenty-six and had a medical condition that kept me from only working part time I was bored and decided to start researching my family tree to find out who exactly this woman was.There was no information,such as name,date or place on the back of the photo Most of the other older family members were also deceased,so I could not ask them if they knew who she was.I began going through the other older pictures that my grandmother had in a box and found many other photos with no information on them.It has been a long time and I still have not found out who these people are or who that Cherokee woman was. It is very important to always document your photo's.Put the names of who is in the picture on the back,along with the date,place and occasion....such as a birthday party,Christmas,graduation,moving day,etc. I keep even when certain bills are due on my calendar on my phone synced to my gmail online with a reminder as well. It does not matter if you are one of those people that should write down due dates,names,birthdays,phone numbers and addresses.Put them on your calender on your online and also make sure that someone else has access,a person that you can trust.Because one day things might change,you may have a medical reason not to remember so good anymore or you may unexpectadly not even be on this earth anymore. Always better safe then sorry.

I make grocery lists. It all began many years ago, when I had a good memory but threw into the cart a lot of things I should not buy. It helped me stay in my budget. Now I do it for other reasons. When I have sevreal important things to do, I make lists. If it´s going to be routine, I use the lonely gray cell I have left.

If the event is so important, i'll put in on my androidmemo. But most of the time, i'll take the risk of just storing it on my mind haha.. i'm also insecure with those photographic memories. I also wish that i'm one of them because i can really use that on my future accounting profession. I'm a graduating student now and i forgot so many lessons already and i should have to make up for the CPA Board exam.

Yes, I always write down my daily tasks for the day on my notebook.. even for the week even. There are so many deadlines to meet at work that without a notebook, it will be quite impossible to remember most of things. I believe it is a good way to keep track of my life as well, and make sure that what needs to be done is done.

For me it ends up being a combination of two basic methods. I will try my hardest to remember everything that I need to accomplish at any given time. Most times I will be able to keep a pretty good grasp on most of what I need to do. Tasks will either be on my mind all day or organically be triggered in my thought process as needing to be done. When I have busy days I will usually let this be the only way I remember. Not having a list allows my mind to kind of prioritize my tasks naturally. The ones that I think about actively are usually the ones that need to get done first or are the most urgent. Meanwhile, on days off from work it is better for me to write down all these tasks. It keeps me on line because on these days off I might not be thinking constantly about getting things done. On days off I want to relax a little bit and might lose myself and my tasks altogether. By writing a list on these days I can refer to it without having to be actively thinking about everything I need to do.

When I was young, I had a good memory, so I will remember what I had to do and then did one after another. But now, I find that it is quite easy for me to forget things. Sometimes I think that something is important to do, but after setting put to work, I forget it totally, when go to bed and look back my day, I soon find that I forget to do it. Now I usually make a list for my daily work and things I have to do. After one of them are done, I will move it off my list. So that I can make sure I will not leave something important undone.

I remember a lot of things, but I always make sure that I have a list as well. Because I live at home and work here as well, there are many times where my family will ask me to do things because they don't have the time to do so during the course of the day, and I will often forget to do the things that they have asked of me unless I write them down and keep the list on my desk during the day. I will try to do all of my errands in the morning so that they're out of the way, and I will then do my work in the afternoon when everything else is done and I have nothing more to worry about.

I don't have a good memory so I write everything down. In my dayplanner I write meetings, work, birthdays, appointments and other things that I have to remember. Some time ago I almost forgot that I had to work on a day where I don't usually work, and that showed me how important it is write everything down in my dayplanner This year I decided to write every birthday in my dayplanner, because I am not that good at remembering people's birthdays. I wrote down every single birthday...but I missed a birthday anyway, because I forgot to check my dayplanner I also have a friend who has a really good memory. He doesn't own a calendar, he simply remembers every task and every meeting or appointment. I am very impressed and I wish that I was able to do the same thing, but I need my lists and my calendars. He also remembers everything that happened in the past, the places we have visited together etc, he remembers a lot of small things that I have forgotten a long time ago.

I love to make lists. The best part is when you can cross something off. Sometimes I will add something I have already done, just so I can scrath it out! I always make a list before I go to the store also. If I don't I forget half of what I wanted to get. I can remember some dates if they are important to me, but not all.

Sometimes i used to note down certain things which are much important for me. Usually i remember the task or the activities which i need to do but there was some instants which i totally missed out. So i used to note certain important things in my mobile as remainder.

Yes, i can relate with your issue about remembering dates.., in our busy life and schedule we cannot afford anymore to let our mind absorb all the important details and important task in our daily activities.. Taking notes is a great help, and taking notes became part of my life since i started to work at the same time study after work...even my password in my online jobs are listed in my notes.

No. I don't have a hobby of writing things down. I just go with the flow since i ran my own time. I'm not a organize type of person or the O.C one and i don't remember everything but i just don't like making a reminder or a schedule to follow. I tried creating a list but in the end i didn't follow what is written there, so useless.

If I have to do many important tasks in one day, then I make a list so I can save time. I check the tasks each time they're accomplished. I notice that it makes me more efficient. I am able to do more and not forget any task. However, if I only have a couple of tasks to do, I don't make a list at all.

I usually remember most things. Yet, over the year I learned that it is best to have a list. Since even if you do remember, sometimes you neglect the small stuff - and the list help you make sure it will not happen. Also, sometime eventually you don't have the time to do so yourself - so if you have a list you can just give it to someone you trust and ask him / her to do it for you with no need to spend more time on explaining it to him / her.

Even I use lists of important tasks to do especially if the number of tasks are more than two in number. This way I do not forger to complete all my tasks.

I think that lists are useful in the long term but if it's just something like remember to buy xyz I tend to put it on the back of my hand.
