9 years ago I got my first PDA Palm Pilot to help me remember all the stuff I just couldn't keep track of in my brain thanks to this bloody short term memory loss - and I've never looked back since. After going through 3 Palm Pilots I finally made the jump into a Smart Phone IPhone, but all the devices have accomplished the same task. They help keep me more organized in thought and action.

There are cheap $30 organizers that work pretty darn good, but if you're willing to blow a bit more money I can't recommend the usability of a PDA (personal digital assistant) type device enough. Be it reminders on what I need to do throughout the day or for keeping track of people, places and things I need to pick up at the store, the multiple ways I use these handy little devices throughout the day surprises even me.

Do expect around a 6 month growing in period, but I think once you make the leap into keeping your thoughts digitized you'll be glad you did. Now I just hope I remember I wrote this, Bob.
