How can I remember my errands if I have memory problems?

Limit errands to one or two at a time if remembering a sequence of four or five errands is too frustrating or tiring. After one or two errands, go home and get organized for the next set of errands. Go out again when you feel rested.

Think over the route for the stops on your errand trips and write it down if you are prone to forgetting the sequence. Before you leave home, consider: Is this a good time of day to be going to the library or post office? Will the drive-up windows at the bank be open?

Will there be lines? Rearrange the sequence of stops to make it most convenient for you. To remember all your errands while you're out, write the list on a sticky note, put it on the dashboard and check off the errands as you do them.

If this is still too far out of sight and thus out of mind, put your list near the speedometer so when you check your speed you're reminded of what you have to do.

If you have memory difficulties, use a fictitious phone number to remember your Personal Identification Number (PIN) for your bank card or credit card. Make the last four numbers of the phone number your PIN and write the number in a notebook that you carry in your purse or organizer.

If you have memory problems, create your own TV guide. If you have difficulty remembering the time of favorite television programs, make a TV guide that lists in words and pictures the program, channel number and time slot for each day of the week. Post this list of programs next to the TV or favorite chair, perhaps in a stand-up picture frame like in hotels.

To make a remote control easier to use, clearly identify important buttons such as on/off and channel changer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
