Being a bit forgetful, i always list things down to remind myself. A lot of times i forget things that i need to do. I also take down notes when someone is telling me somthing important and even with my groceries, likewise i do thatin order for me not forget. How about you? do you list things down? Are you forgetful too?

it is funny when we meet someone or talk to someone who is in such a predicament as we do. i have a habit of listing the things that must be bought the day before i go to shop for groceries. then i forget to bring the list with me. hehehehe. it is nice to meet you, mrsbrian, nice to know we share the same fun with life.

I take notes and make notes for reminders all of the time. I have to or else I will forget what I am doing. I used to have a fantastic memory but since I have had to start taking medication for an illness, I have not had the same memory and have experienced that m short term memory stinks! So, yeah, I do make a lot of notes for myself!

having been taking medications must have been the cause of my worsening memory failures. i used to be forgetful as a child but not this much as i am having right now. it is good that i have switched to purely herbal supplements nowadays. my condition woould have worsened so much by now had i not.

i have to list down all the important things always because i have been so forgetful for as long as i can remember. the trouble is, i can also forget as to where the list goes. i have a big notebook for the purpose already so it will be easy to locate. i always forget where i have placed it, you know.

just like you, i am very forgetful. this is the reason that i have made a habit of listing things down always. but the problem is, there are times when i forget where had i placed the reminders, too. this is really funny, but it is true.

Yup, I do take down notes, lists...from grocery lists, to to do lists in my office or personal errands because my tendency is to forget what I was supposed to do. In my office, my secretary/office assistant has a whiteboard where my appointments, meetings are listed so that I do not forget. Personally, I also carry my lists in my bag so that I am reminded of things that I have to do. In another discussion, I admitted being a forgetful person, that's why the best remedy is to list and list and take notes....

I take notes quite often, I just tend to forget otherwise on what I had to do still at times because I'm too focused on other things instead.
