Try to stop using the 2/9/22 date layout in favour of using the month name (or at least its abbreviation).

When jotting down a note for later recording (a date, or an amount for instance), do not assume you will recall what it is about when it comes to entering it into your diary or accounts. Write down venue and expense detail as well. Also beware of using abbreviations.

Keep paper and pencil everywhere: outdoor pockets, dining table, TV seat, desk, bedside table etc. (Stick-it notes and bookie’s pens are helpful here)

Ask your housemates not to move anything from where you are used to seeing it / finding it. Convince them it might vanish from your universe if you do not see it. (This I find the most scary thing so far, the way sights, sounds, smells, words suddenly reveal memories.)

I keep essentials like phone, tissues and keys all together in a small bag. When I change handbag, I just move the small bag into it.

I never let other people put my stuff away – if they do, I can never find it!
