There are some good ideas in this thread. I had not thought to set cell phone reminders. That would be really helpful.

I too have memory problems. I tend to leave things out so I don't forget that I want to do something and write many notes for myself, but often lose them. Because I leave things out, I end up with a mess that I have to clean up, but never seem to get to unless I know someone is coming over to my house.

It sometimes seems like an endless cycle.
