I write notes to myself all the time. They're so I will remember to do something, or call someone. I often put the sticky notes by my coffee pot, so in the morning I will be reminded. I have one on the front door. It says don't forget to pay the post office bill. I live next door to Miller's market and the Houston Post 🏀 🏬 🏒 office.😁 I've been using sticky notes to remind myself for many years!!

Members enthusiastically shared their strategies for managing memory challenges with MS, with sticky notes emerging as a beloved tool alongside phone calendars, notepads, alarms, and voice memos. Several members described creative systems including color-coded notes on doors and refrigerators, shared digital lists with family members, hourly phone alarms for medications, and retracing steps physically to jog memory. A recurring theme was the importance of finding what works personally, whether old-fashioned paper or modern technology, and refusing to let MS take away independence through determined adaptations and self-advocacy.

@A MyMSTeam Member I don't use sticky notes or my phone. I do write everything down in spiral notebooks.. Sometimes I have to search the whole notebook to find what I'm looking for and hope I wrote it down.

I appreciate these comments greatly as it's nice to know I'm not the only one repeatedly back and forth bc I forget what task I was on. Hugs to all going through this as well! It is soooo frustrating to me.
