WFMW-Notebooks

As I get older, I find myself losing more and more of my memory. There are lots of things I could blame it on, but we'll just leave it at that! Anyway, I have started to carry around in my purse, my car and my church bag a small notebook. I got mine in the dollar bins at Michael's. When I run out of something in my kitchen, I write it down in the notebook and return it to my purse. I also make lists of what small errands need to be run. That way, when I am at the grocery store, I'm not standing there dumbfounded in the baking aisle trying to remember what I needed. I may still be standing there dumbfounded, but it is not for lack of a list. I also don't forget "what else I wanted to do while I was out." Also, while I am at a store and looking at toys, books, etc., instead of impulsively buying things, I write down where I saw it and how much it was. This especially works with books, because then, next time I'm at the Library, I can just pull out my list and I know which books I saw and wanted. Also, I can remember where I saw "that toy" and know if it is a better deal at this other store.
I keep one in my church bag so that I can remember a scripture or a topic that I want to look at in more detail later, and also to write down favorite quotes from talks. I can also write down specific announcements that I want to remember, or phone #'s of new people , or I can hand it to a child during the talks to keep them quiet.
The one in the car is to write down where I saw a specific store I would like to go to later when I have more time. We are new here, and sometimes I can't remember which intersection that cute little boutique was on.
