I'm actually kind of forgetful. I tend to forget things because when I do remember something, I tend to push them away till the time comes when I would really need them. And when I do need them, I can't seem to remember them! I would forget small things, like I would leave my keys in the house, forget to finish my paper, forget to do something that my mom told me to do. Small stuff like that. Sometimes, when I'm very busy, I even forget to eat! Most importantly, I would often forget what time my classes would start and where it's gonna be! So I decided to use my mobile phone to remind me of things. I have this calendar, in which I can place stuff that I need to do daily, and put an alarm for them. I would put in my whole class schedule. Not only that, I would also put in the simplest of things, like don't forget to eat at this time, don't forget to bring this or that, don't forget to do this or that today. It really works. Now I only have to figure out how to avoid forgetting to bring my mobile phone everyday!

Yes very often I do, sometimes I have to go back and forth three to four times when leaving home to go out either to office or some other place because I have forgotton something or the other. I used to forget far more then I started to make a mental check list and I have managed to a large extent to overcome this problem

thank you for the response, i think most of us having similar problem. i also now trying to overcome it with some sort of checklist. but the funny thing is that wat we forget is the simplest things which we donot care to include in mental check

I am terrible about forgetting things. I usually leave the house and get half way down the road before I turn around and come back for something. My kids laugh at me all the time when I walk back in they always ask me what did you forget this time. Sometimes they already know and are holding it out for me when I walk in the door.

thank you for the response, exactly the same thing wat i mention, and pls dont laugh, on my wedding day i forgot to take a handkerchief! i think one of the reason is that we concentrate more than enough on some things, and fail to give the least to the rest.
