Our brains are not designed to remember everything, but they
can deduce or conjure up an apparently lost memory by using
other elements that we *do* remember.

I like David Allen's take on the mind & memory:

"Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them."

So write down things you don't want to forget. Of course the trick is remembering to go back and look at that list! ;)

I tried using an "app" on my BB10 to keep track of my grocery
list. But that system failed when I would forget to bring the
phone with me or when the battery is just about to run out.

I'm back to using a simple list on paper that I keep attached
to the fridge, but that system fails sometimes when I forget to
take the list with me.

SO, it appears that I need to pin a checklist right on the
inside of the front door of my house that reminds me to check
the list on the fridge. :/

Well I'm glad to know I'm good for something here, even only to set a
bad example. :)

Joe,

Additionally, we only remember what is important to us.

Ah, that explains why the boss forgot to sign my pay cheque once.

Nah, he needed your money to pay for his parking tickets. <G>

That reminds me of the joke where the police officer ended up being
in the hospital from an incident. He was rather well endowed with body
hair on his arms, etc. -- and this one nurse had put extra sticky tape
and bandages on his wounds.

She left a card that said "Get Well Soon...from the nurse you wrote
a traffic ticket to last week". :P
