Stop forgeting to remember!!

I have one of the worst memories that I know of.  Really, it's ridiculous.  I honestly don't know how people can stand to talk to me lol.  I remind myself of Dory off of Finding Nemo (such a classic :).  I can literally forget something in a matter of seconds.

I have tried to write things down so that I remember them or remember to do something, but that doesn't always work because I either lose the paper that I wrote it down on or I forget why I wrote a random word on a piece of paper that is in my pocket, and by time I do remember why I wrote it, it's pretty much too late anyway.

So, I am embarking on a quest to remember things.  I'm not going to depend on myself to remember these things because that would cause a plethora of issues.  However, I will be finding different ways to keep things straight.  For one, I always have a pen on me so I will write things on me because I always have me with me, haha.  I will also be putting events and information in my phone whenever I need to remember something.  I figure having everything in one place would be an excellent idea, despite the fact that if I lose my phone (which is actually very unlikely) or it is stolen, I am completely screwed... 

Day planners don't work for me.  I have tried those, and every time I try I feel the need to rebel against what is written in the pages and do my own thing.  And I've already mentioned the random notes to myself problems.

So far, the phone idea has worked pretty well.  I'll be praying for someone to invent memory chips for the brain, haha, but in the meantime, I think a palm planner might be a good investment :)
