 Sharper Image makes a little tape recorder you wear around your neck.  It has three files in it and holds up to 90 minutes of messages. It has a calendar and shows today's date, plus you can move forward as far as you want to leave yourself a reminder of appointments, etc. and you can move backwards to see who it was you had lunch with last week.  It's also a great conversation starter because nobody knows what it is. ~ Stephanie


On my computer I set up a daily appointment with a reminder for every 2 hours.
In the appointment I write what I was planning to use the time for...this helps me to remember to get up and take a break...walk, nap, snack, water, etc... ~Nancy


If you're out of the house and suddenly remember something, but don't have pen and paper handy, just call your home phone from your cell phone and leave a message on your answering machine. ~ Mary


I keep a small notebook in my purse to write down what I'm supposed to remember. ~

If during a conversation I need to say something but am delayed in being able to comment, I cross my fingers it helps me to remember what I needed to say until it's my turn to talk. ~Joanne

Learn to love sticky notes! When you need to remember something, pen it on your sticky note and stick someplace where you HAVE to look at it. For example: a mirror, computer screen, or TV screen. ~Lorna

I HANG A PRETTY RIBBON LIKE A CLOTHESLINE ACROSS MY KITCHEN DOOR. WHEN THE KIDS BRING HOME SCHOOL PAPERS I NEED TO READ OR SIGN, I HANG THEM THERE , WITH A CLOTHESPIN. THIS HELPS ME REMEMBER WHERE THINGS ARE, AND PREVENTS THEM FROM GETTING LOST IN THE EVERYDAY PAPER PILE UP. ~Lettie

ALWAYS USE DUPLICATE CHECKS, THEY ARE ONLY A FEW DOLLARS MORE AND YOU WILL NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU WROTE THE CHECK, OR THE AMOUNT OF THE CHECK.

"Have a pen and notebook with you wherever you go. I have notebooks scattered around the house, car, and yard so that when I think of something I need to get done or remember, I jot it down. In the past I would think of things I needed to do and then forget I had remembered them! Now I wherever I think of it I have a place to write it down!"
