I have a few ways to help myself remember things. I switch one of my rings onto a different finger, I put endless memos and alarms on my phone, I email myself all the time, or text Franco's phone so he'll remind me of things. But those methods are usually for out-of-the-ordinary happenings that I don't want to forget. The day-to-day things I should have down pat. These last few days, however, I've had some major memory hiccups.
I lost $100. I forgot my office keys at home and didn't have a car so I stood out in the rain for half an hour until my co-worker came and opened the door for me. I went to a baby shower last night and had to wrap the gift last minute, and then forgot the bag with the scissors, tape, and wrapping paper in the host's bedroom. And that's just in the last few days.
I'm embarrassed to share, but I hope someone can provide some sage advice on how to help my ailing memory. I mean, it's one thing to forget little things once in a while, but when Franco, concerned, asks me, "What's happening to you?" after I tell him of my forgetfulness once again, there's something seriously wrong. Is there any hope for me? What can I do to be more organized, more able to remember things? Or does it just get worse (yikes)?

I'm super forgetful and no help with this- I do the same things- set reminders, keep lists, organize as best as I can & I still forget EVERY DAY. Let me know if you come up with another brilliant suggestion! I'm open for anything too!
I just recently found this website called Cozi.com It's free and it's a great organizer. If you have a smart phone you can get an app for it and use it on your phone, if not you can set up your calendar online and it will send you text message reminders whenever you want. It is color coded and can be used for the whole family. I usually fill out mine and my husbands "to do's" for the week and just wait for the reminders that i set up. Works great.
