Forgetting everything is so much a part of my life, it’s natural for me. I know I forget stuff so I try and find solutions instead of trying to force something that’s just not going to happen. It’s easier.
I’ve automatically build in ‘where’s my???’ time into my schedule and try to get out the door at least 30 minutes before I need to leave.
Then realize I have extra time and do just ‘one more’ thing before leaving then rush out before I miss the bus.
Groceries left on the floor in front of fridge while I go do something in the front yard that I noticed on the way in, walking by something that needed to be done 10,000 times and not noticing, took 6 hours to decide dinner menu and make a list (that I forgot) for the grocery store….the place was covered in cookbooks, recipes printed out from the computer, re-written lists on scaps of paper all over the place…
Dinner rocked, though…
I leave visual reminders out that sometimes work…have also used timer on my cellphone for cooking..even short periods of time
