When I was in high school, forgetting to bring my lunch was a daily event. Sometimes, I forgot my watch and on a rarer event, I would forget my mobile. I didn’t just leave those occuring incidents alone, I tried to make checklist so that I wouldn’t forget anything. It worked for a day or two, but then I realised that the adversary in my brain made me forget about the checklist and I forgot even more things…
At present, things happen more randomly but it seems that this week I have had a streak of memory losses. On Sunday, I forgot to bring my work’s papers and books. On Monday, I forgot that I have forgotten the papers and the books at my house. I thought I left it at Minie’s place. On Tuesday, I left my ***mighty electric toothbrush*** which forced me to use the traditional toothbrush again today, sad.
Today was even worse! I remember to bring everything except one important thing. I even checked my to-do list in my mobile to make sure I didn’t make the usual mistake. I brought my camera, my harddisk, my mobile, my work papers & books, my reading papers, my lip gloss, my eye liner, my moisturiser, etc etc. The list goes on, except one: my wallet. It struck me horribly when I was about to get the usual travel ten out in the bus.
Now I am surviving the day with Stef’s $20 (Stef was luckily with me). The wallet is not something that I need for today thankfully, but I am desperately trying to install more memory to my head. The question is: how? :(
hahahahaha maybe you need somekind of format? or brain’s update hahahah just go to http://www.brainupdate.com hahaha just kidding.
or maybe you can buy bigger memory hahaha
hmmm I know that girl’s stuff is a lot more than boy’s stuff. Everytime I go, I only need to check watch, mp3 players, cellphone, wallter, and keys hahaha that’s it, easy huh?
btw, i’m not helping again hahahaha

lols, yes i think i know what you mean, my brain seems to fail more and more these days - lack of sleep definitely doesn’t help either!
what i find useful is before you go to sleep at night, put everything you need in your bag/on the table - so in the morning you can just chuck it all in :) though don’t do what i sometimes do…i take things out to check that everything is in the bag…but forget to put it back in :(

The trick to remember more stuff is to use less memory (per item). For me, I just forget everything happened yesterday = more memory :)
On a few occasion I forget to bring my wallet/keys/lunch, which means I can’t use concession tickets or I can’t get into my lab in uni. Nowdays I just have everything tied using one string (key+wallet+mobile) and hang it in front of my door :S Cure insomnia as well, just swing it a little bit before going to sleep :D
I used to put everything in my bag night before, just like what pyko said… but it doesn’t help now when I swap bags like 5 minutes just before leaving home (e.g. impulsively want to bring laptop)
Consider remembering less stuff :) Ah what the heck, just don’t remember anything at all and there will be nothing to forget :)

Worse things happened today. After I blogged this entry in the morning, I managed to forget to go to the post office after my promise for uncle wazza AND I left my lunch container (including my beloved free chippies I got earlier in the morning) at work!
Very good, makes me feel like a 210 yrs old now…
