I really thought I'd hit my low during pregnancy, but apparently not. I only wish I could go back to pregnancy forgetfulness; that would probably be a 100 times improvement in my general cognition and memory. And when pregnant, you definitely can blame the hormones, and people are very quick to sympathize with pregnancy-related ditziness as opposed to forgetfulness & ditziness other times in your life.

I have really come to rely on my iPhone to be the keeper to my kingdom and will use the note function to make a quick note when I put something away for safe keeping in a weird place after losing our passport wallet for almost a year only to find it in a sadly, very little used, skimpy pjs, drawer. Why in the hell I put it there is beyond me. I guess I had a good reason at the time. I also put a giant four month dry erase board in our breakfast room you can’t help but see every time you walk in from the garage. Add sticky notes, date minder books and notebooks with endless, colorful, stick on tabs, SIRI and Alexa and we make it through the week with only a handful of missed appointments and lost items.
You just gotta do what works for you. Boxes on the floor by your door, hooks, hiring ninjas with foam katanas to follow you around and smack you every time you start to put something in a strange place ( this has been discussed in our house). Make your life fit you. Not the other way around.
