Any tips you use to remember the little (or big) things?

I used to make notes and reminders in my Outlook diary but that mail has been closed down and I'm back to making lists. Like kathsue though I get so used to seeing them I forget when it comes to the actual date!

Phone calendar is a godsend nina
I have a shopping list on the fridge door for people to add to. Trouble is that I am in Aldi and the list is still on the fridge door....have asked DS to take a photo and send it to me in the past!

Forgot to say I also keep a little diary with me and put all appointments etc on a wall calendar. I still haven't got the hang of doing it all on my phone or computer.

I make a note on my phone calendar. It will then set off an alarm at 8.30 am. on the day
This morning it reminder me to make a doctors appointment.
I do also make lists, so does H. He has a little book in which he writes DIY and gardening tasks

I write lists too and put them on the fridge door with a magnet. Shopping lists and a to-do list where I cross off things as I do them.
It usually works but sometimes I get so used to seeing the words I don't notice them. For instance, I had a note saying Birthday cards for 2 birthdays today. I ended up dashing to the shop Saturday morning, writing the cards in the shop then just missing the post Grrrr.

Lists list lists!!
