When we have a lot of things in our mind we tend to always forget something. Sometimes we also forget when we are in a hurry and then we will just realize that we actually forget something. I don't like it when it happens to me in the most important day or event. I am forgetful sometimes but i do try to write things down now so i'll have a note or reminders so i won't forget something that is really important. My husband is more forgetful than i am so he always ask me to remind him of something, then thats another reason why i just write it down and post it in the fridge or in our calendar so both of us can't forget it. i think that is the best way to do so we can keep track of things. Are you forgetful too? what do you do so you won't forget important things that you need to do or bring? give us more ideas about this.

I do forget things if I have a lot on my mind or if I'm in a hurry. I've gotten down the road before and remembered that I forgot something and had to turn back around and come back to get it. I try to write things down so I don't forget it though. My husband laughs at me because I make notes to myself but he shouldn't laugh because he forgets and loses everything. I told him one time if our son went to daycare that he would forget him there. LOL

I seldom forget dates and important appointments. I write them down on my calendar and even input them on my cellular phone and turn the alarm of the reminder on. I'm a little forgetful about things that I'm carrying, that's why most of the time I bring a big bag with me and put everything on it. There was a time that I forgot my document's folder in a restaurant, it is really important because my original documents (passport, diploma, transcript of records, etc.) is in it. I've left it on a chair. Fortunately I was able to get it back =)

Nobody is spared from this case. All of us suffered from this only in different situations. There are times that you're totally blanked specially during examinations and I had experienced it during my college days. When I go to grocery store I have to list down things that I have to purchase specially the daily consumables. Sometimes I also forgot my atm pin number thats why I maintain the same pin number for all my bank cards including my credit cards. For appointments I log it in my scheduler for reminder.

If I am to assess my self, I must say I am forgetful but compare to my husband..he is way more forgetful than I am, I write down things too,put it in the fridge door so he will always see it and yet I still have to remind him things verbally.

The same thing happens to me when I have a lot of stuff on my mind I would usally forget at least one something. Whats annoying though is when you go shopping and you know exactly what you want before you get there but once your there you see something else and then you compltley forget, then you go home and remember what you want and then you get pissed off now thats annoying.
