For what it is worth, it is useful to come to the conclusion that the brain is an awful place to store something you want to remember. It may not be a list, but I certainly remember better outside my head than inside. Developing tooling that works for you is important to coming to grips with your brain.

Everyone is different and I'd go so far to say that there's probably a HEFTY chunk of individuals that this wouldn't work for, me included.

I don't forget to do things. My brain just refuses to acknowledge that they're urgent to do.🤷‍♂️

My favorite strategy is literally putting crap I need to remember in my way. Remember my daughter's jacket for school? You belong in front of the door now. Need to remember making a meal? Gonna leave out a bunch of ingredients on the counter. Everybody is different, I just find that kind of stuff works for me too.
