Do you have to write reminders to yourself to remember things?

I have little notes all over my desk and around the house to remind me to do things. I have a notepad on the table and I write what groceries I will need when next I go shopping. And yes, I sometimes forget to take the list with me, but I have a note on the dashboard of my car saying "Don't forget to take the grocery list".

I have a terrible short term memory, my long term memory is excellent but sadly not my short term so everything has to be written down, otherwise I'd forget to do things or I'd be wondering if I have done everything I needed to, of course the worst thing is to go to bed and lie there and suddenly think oh no, I forgot to do a job, task etc, so I always write everything down and it is satisfying when I cross it off the list once I've done it, that way I can go to bed with relief knowing that I haven't forgotten anything and yes many a time I have spent ages writing out a shopping list only to arrive at the shop having realized I have left it on the kitchen table!

Yes. I am a list maker. I think I've made a list about lists I need to make. I seem to often make a list and then forget to take my list. I have a pretty good memory so just having once made the list I get by well without it.

I think you called out my middle name, I forget to take my "foot" with me when I leave the house. I don't write grocery list anymore because I will forget I wrote one, and yes I try to write down anything important on my calendar for reminders, but guess what? I forget I even have a calendar, so basically I don't write down over 96% of the things I forget. Sad.

I'm good at making lists, especially grocery lists, and then forget the list. I'm also real good at putting things in places where I won't forget and forget where the places are.

No Usually i remember evrything by god'd grace but ya some time i am just affraid of forgetting some important things then i do put reminders...

Yes, I sure do. This way I can mark them off when they are done and I feel good for having to be able to see what I have accomplished on paper.

I am so forgetful, so I really need to make reminders if I'll do some things. I sometimes put an alarm into my cellphone with task in it, so that I really wouldn't forget it.

Oh,I don't think I need to do like that now.Only the people who is older just like my parents need a grocery list.I'm just a young student now without hard work burden,but some of my former classmates who now are working have told me that the heavy work usually makes people forgetfull.A reminder list could be useful for them.

I do! That's why I always have a pen and paper and calendars on my desk where I can put all my notes. That's not all. I also have multiple lists on my pc, for my plans, my budgets. It's because I have so many things in my mind that I need to jot them all down before they fade away. I also need my grocery list to keep on my budget and not forget the necessary items. Listing makes me organized.
