More seriously yellowted, you might check out the fibro thread in the chronic pain forum. Fibro causes all kinds of memory issues. The posters in the forum share ideas for coping. Somethings I find helpful are -
Write things down. I keep a planner with all my appointments etc. in it. I'm also big on jotting notes to myself on post-it notes. Then I stick the notes in obvious places so I'll see them.
I try to stick to a routine... put things in the same place all the time, do things in the same order each day, that sort of thing.
It helps to have a sense of humor about the whole thing. It helps me to accept the fact that while I am not an airhead there are times I'm airheaded acting. It helps to be able to laugh at myself when I screw up.

thanks for this, i used to keep a diary, but forgot to look in it or write in it!! notes in obvious places helps, i have had one on my landing window for years telling me to turn off the bedroom light!!
i found my phone eventually it had slipped down the side of my bed which i can not reach!
I too try to make homour of my airhead ways. it only gets to me when i am particularly rough
