If it's a nice day, take your car to the car wash for an exterior wash. If it's not a nice day, sit in your car and dust/hand vac the interior.

How many times have you gone shopping and forgotten your list? Have you forgotten your best friend's birthday again? These simple, but very effective, tips are excellent tools to help you remember stuff.

1. Put it down in stone. If you don't record tasks you need to do, those tasks are bound to be forgotten. Write down what needs to be remembered and place your note in an obvious area, like on the bathroom mirror or the kitchen refrigerator.

2. Give yourself a tool to catch those evening ideas. Having trouble falling asleep? It may be due to the many ideas and plans floating around in your mind. I keep my phone on my bedside table. In doing so, I can type those ideas that hit me once I'm in bed and get them off my mind so I can rest.

3. Spread some cheer...on time. How about those birthday cards you mean to send out and then forget? Usually near the end of the previous month is a good time to mail for the month ahead. Just send out ALL the cards for the following month at once.

4. Send yourself an email or a voicemail. The message will sit in your inbox until you've done whatever you've reminded yourself to do. Then, you can simply delete it.

5. Use calendar reminders. Most digital calendars can send you a reminder notification to remind you when the task or event is approaching.

6. Carry a small notebook. If you need to do something, just jot it down and you'll be able to refer to it daily.

7. Plan a scheduled routine each week. Designate certain days to do certain things. For example, do laundry on Mondays, do errands on Tuesdays and so on.

8. Set your alarm clock. Have to make a call at 11A or pick up your son from soccer practice at 4? Use your watch, oven timer, or cell phone alarm feature, so it rings/beeps when you have to leave.

9. Tie a string around your finger. Yes, this tip has been around for decades, but it works. Just tie a string around your finger. Make it just slightly uncomfortable so that it's a constant reminder of what you need to do. Once the deed is done, remove the string.

10. Put it in an obvious place. Have to return library books? Leave them in a cute tote bag on the door handle where you exit your home. Have to stop to get gas before work tomorrow? Leave a sticky note on your steering wheel. Need to remember to take your medication? Leave a note on your bathroom mirror.

P.S. Say goodbye to scraps of paper and dozens of notebooks. My Easy Organizer can help you organize, and keep track of, every bit of information in your life.
