Occasionally I will do this. More often though, I make lists of things I need to bring/fix/buy. Hardware store items for the house and things for the rig I order off Amazon.

You can also add items to lists on the Alexa app on your phone. It has a talk feature on that too.

Must be fun to fire up that thing in the grocery store:

"Prune juice
Salad stuff
Fruit
Sauerkraut"

I'm not as smart as a smart phone. And, I don't have to remember who told me.

I post a piece of paper on the pantry door. That way it is within reach and we are always passing by it. With it being there we see it constantly and if somebody goes to the store the other can text a pic of the list. Right now there is a calendar beside it with a schedule for the dog meds.

I have so many passwords, and some that have to be changed often, I have sticky notes on my monitors for reference.

We keep a booklet checklist in the truck.

There are two kinds of people, those who know they need notes and those who don't. Now if I could just remember to read them... ;-)

I send myself emails :-)

I have a daytimer planner small enough to fit in my purse or use on the desk. Has phone numbers, passwords, when we bought appliances or did an improvement on the S&B house or camper. And all the stuff I need to get to as well as our appointments. DH calls me "Secretary" whenever I need to help him with a new appointment. Already working on stuff coming up next year!

I just threw my daytimer away. Had not used it in 18 years.

I just ask Siri to remind me if I think I am going to forget.

Pammi and I keep a piece of paper on the bar above our countertop to make a list of stuff for our Saturday shopping trips. I will usually take a pic of that just in case we forget it or lose it!
I use the reminder feature on my phone to remind me of stuff in the future for work.
Although, I'm not above leaving a post it note on my work truck's dashboard to remind me to get something in the morning for the back of the truck!

I made up a Car Check sign with a velcro sticky on the back. It lives on the console when not in use. When we stop for the night I transfer it to the center of the steering wheel. This reminds to:

Release hand brake on toad,
Turn ignition key to release steering lock
Place stick shift in neutral

Hasn't failed me yet!
