Thanks for this.

This technique is a great stress reliever. It allows the item to be transferred from an "I need to remember this" stressful thought to an " I will not forget this so I don't have to worry" content thought.

Putting a white board on the refrigerator has similar value at home. My wife does not have to wonder if I will remember something. She just writes it on the white board.

I sometimes send an email to myself as a reminder. If someone tells me something over the phone, I often ask them to email me the same information. I'll say something like, " I am not where I can write this down. Can you please email me a reminder of this?"

Research has shown that using smart phones to set alarms and other reminders works well with the memory limited community.
