You'll be the first to know. I've already got some coping strategies, because my son and I have always said we had SFB. (Shinola for Brains.) Related to CRS (Can't Remember Shinola). My biggest is I have index cards all of the house and in the car. I live by my list. If it isn't on the list it won't get done. I even have to list feed the birds or they would starve!
Oh, my goodness. You and I are soooooooo alike. I used to do note cards and things like that, and I still use sticky notes on doorknobs, light switches, steering wheel, computer screen, or on top of my keys for the REALLY important things.
One of the best things I did for myself was purchase a small spiral notebook that I keep in my purse. EVERY LIST I need is in it. Calls to return, grocery lists, bills to pay, things to do, gifts I've purchased for people for Christmas (I now have the past four Christmases in there), ideas for gifts, and any other thing you can turn into a list. The notebook stays in my purse, so it's with me when I'm out. It has cut down on my losing lists or misplacing information. Everything is in one place!
The greatest victory of all is that after four years, I haven't lost the notebook!
Don't be ashamed of what you put on the list. Sometimes I put "shower" on there. I like being able to check off something I've done.
