Notes and lists...

Do you make notes and lists for yourself? I have the worlds worst memory. I will think of these wonderful ideas for questions and then forget by the time I manage to log on. I will go to the store and I ALWAYS come home without the one item I actually went for. I forget everything. So I have started making little lists for myself and notes to remind me of things. Who else does this?

Though sometimes I write things down, not generally. Now most often I use the voice record feature on my phone and make little memo's to myself.

Always. We are major list makers, grocery lists, to do lists, etc. I would be lost without them. I use them at work and at home. There is nothing more satisfying than crossing chores off your list as you do them. I have sticky notes at work to remind me of things. I use my outlook calendar to remind me of things. My husband and I took a memory course to help us remember, but we tend to think the method the course uses is more work than writing out a list. Now if we could remember to take the list before going out to get the things on the list.....

I have been doing that for years. I make a grocery list before going shopping, I also include a list of the places I need to stop while I'm out. I always use a packing list when I'm going on a trip, and a list of things we'll need when we go camping. I also keep a lil notebook of ideas for scrapbook layouts. And normally I have a calendar hung near my work area, so I know what events are coming up, and anything that my s/o has coming up, he often asks me what time his appointments are lol

When I go to the store I have to make a list of what I need or i'll forget too. If I have a lot of stuff to do in a day, I will make a list, I have a dry erase board on my refrigerator that I keep notes on. With three kids, and a husband, I tend to forget a couple of things here and there. lol

I get ideas for mylot around 2am. Sometimes I remember to write them down, most times I'm quite sure I'll remember in the morning. I don't. Sometimes I make lists, but then I forget the list! Have you ever heard the expression 'Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most?' That's me.

Hi sisterjinx, Yeah I make little notes or lists for myself at times. Usually I make lists when I am going to the grocery store and I would make a note of an idea cause I am likely to forget it and then remember it somewhere later down the road. So instead of remembering down the road like 3 or more different times, I just write it down!

I make lists for myself all the time and have been doing it for a long time. If I didn't I would forget to do something. But the funny thing about it is I don't have to look at the list to get done the things I want to. But I have tried a couple of times not making a list and I always forget to do something. It is funny to me how if I have a list I don't have to look at it and remember the things I need to do.
