Do you take steps, large or small, to ensure that you don't forget something?

For example, say you need to return a movie the next day. Do you glance at it sitting on a pile of other movies and think, “Don’t forget to return that,” or do you pick it up at that moment and stick it in your purse (or someplace else) so you won’t forget?

I have a really good memory. However, as far back as my early 20’s I realized that I can easily forget a lot of piddly little things so I learned to compensate for that.

Have you ever known anyone who doesn’t take those kinds of precautions and, as a result, is always forgetting things?
