HwRSD...how about timers? I used to have to do that when I took care of my grandmother for a few days. I'd have to go to work, so I'd set the kitchen timer for one time, and a bedroom alarm clock for another, and a clock in the living room for another time. At each of the alarms, I'd have a bottle with the pills she was supposed to take, so when the alarm went off, she knew to take the pills in the bottle by that particular alarm.

I also used to take my meds 4 x's a day, but I would forget, too....so I adjusted them to 3 x's a day....when I wake up, after lunch, then before bed. Can't forget that too easily.

As for appointments, I set my cell phone to beep and I put it in TWICE. Once the day before, and once the day OF the appointment. That way I'm reminded the prior day, and the day I have to go as well.

Another thing that's huge...HABIT! If you have a habit NOW, incorporate memory tips into those habits. For example, if you put your keys in a certain place when you wak in the door, put your notes there. If you write a grocery list out consistently add to it, write your notes THERE, etc. So incorporate things into already established habits.

Look whose talking. me....the one who forgets something the minute you tell me! Now, if I could just take my own advice and apply it to myself, I may get somewhere!
