^^^^ write it down, then forget the notepad!
My wife saw (or read) something the other day about how to remember certain things and she reckons it works! Apparently if you forget, for example your keys, then you go and stand in the last place you remember having them and say out load "keys keys keys". First off, she's obviously nuts and secondly, WTF!!
I now realise why she was standing in the bedroom shouting "dildo dildo dildo" the other day!!
