@santosha The following seems long to read, but you may be happily surprised. I've gotten into the habit each day of using inexpensive yellow 3"x3" sticky notes for all things I need to remember for the immediate future. I might have 10 going at one time. At the end of the day, I collect them all into a pile, toss the ones I don't need as I've already done what's on the yellow note. Then, I take what's not been tossed and hand-write the list of items I need to remember or do onto a 5"x7" lined yellow pad. Some of these notes (reminders) may be redundant for a couple days, but since it's only a couple, your task or something you need to remember eventually goes away (tossed). This makes me feel good that I've gotten a few things accomplished EVEN if I only transfer my notes on to the 5"x7" pad. I guess it's psychological for me, but it works. I nearly never forget to do things that should be remembered for only 1 or 2 days. I hope this helps somebody. If you try and have success, please let me know. I'd feel like I helped someone. Thanks

@royanthony
I ran some errands today. I put a note on my winshield
as usual and on my Alexia. The two main items I went for I came home without.
Notes don't work well for me. Any other options?

Hi Roy,
I see now that I've missed your message — sorry for that!
Thank you for sharing this; it wasn't too long at all. It's interesting how different our approaches are, though they solve the same problem — and like you, doing this brings me a similar peace of mind. That "psychological win" you mentioned makes complete sense to me.
Wishing you a nice day!
Chris
