I guess I'm not the lone ranger then.  I used to be able to depend on my
memory for so much and I don't seem to be able to do that anymore.  Two
examples: Going into a room for something and forgetting what I want to get
once I'm there; not being able to remember appointments without writing them
down on the calendar.  I thought these things were happening because I wasn't
working anymore, and my mind wasn't as active.

I was a "child of the seventies" too (ahem).  That might account for some of
this forgetfulness.

Hey, what are you gonna do (she asked rhetorically)?  I have revived my day
planner and keep that going everyday now.  That old day planner was very
helpful at work because I was physically in so many places and didn't have a
calendar in front of me.
It was also helpful to keep notes on daily activities, meetings, etc.

Now it's helpful to remind me to do one thing or another, and to plan my days
so that they are as productive as possible.
