For as long as I can remember, I've had a terrible memory.  Maybe I was dropped on my head as a kid, or maybe I ate too much Play-Doh, chapstick, crayons, or glue.  Whatever the reason, I can't remember anything unless I write it down.  In most circumstances, this isn't a bad thing.  I've always been a good note taker, and I tend to carry objects with me that enable me to write things down (e.g. pen, paper, Palm).  The problem with this is that I literally can't remember anything.  Somebody tells me what we're doing this weekend; I hear it and forget it instantly.  I decide I need to bring a textbook to work tomorrow; I don't write it down and forget it instantly.  And the bigger problem is what's happened as a result of forgetting all the time:  I don't even try anymore.  If I know I'll forget it, I won't even try to remember it.  I'll tell somebody else to remember it so it takes the pressure (and future blame) off me.  Or I'll immediately write it down so it frees up some memory in my head (think flying toasters).  Sometimes I can't get to sleep at night, not because there's a lot on my mind, but because I'm afraid I'll forget the stuff that's on my mind.  Maybe I should take some pills or something.  Any suggestions? #psychology
