Thanks for the help! I have started writing note reminders on my iPod, which helps. Writing on scraps of paper does get lost with me although for school I did write notes in notebooks which is easier for me to study because I had the actual notes to look through. I do this for meetings too (but I have notebooks for each different area).
Autocorrect is my best friend while typing, it would take me twice as long to type of I didn't have it!
