A friend has a medical condition that, among other things, fogs her brain when she doesn’t eat in time.  I suggested she put it on the calendar and also a note on her monitor and bathroom mirror the times to eat. I’m the queen of forgetting whatever I’ve not made a note for.  I also have several timers I set for things like stove on, clothes out of dryer. Whenever I hear a timer, I go into the room to find it atop whatever is needing attention.  Sometimes it’s a fun surprise! As soon as I realized I could leave reminder notes and not have to rely upon my memory, I became less stressed.  When I became less stressed, my memory improved on its own.  Now let me set a timer to remember that for next time.
