Speaker A. I’m a very forgetful person. That’s why I have a daily planner. I put everything there. Birthday dates, homework, medical appointments. If I take it down in my daily planner I’ll never forget about it. The point is, if I don’t I’ll never remember about it. My friends tease me all the time about this, but I probably do take my diary out of my bag more often than my mobile so I never get offended cause it is so true about me.

Speaker B. My mum sais, I live in a total mess. My desk is chaos with sheets of paper everywhere, with different reminders like: "Bye milk" "urgent" or "phone Lissie" or whatever. Strange if it may seem, I feel comfortable around all this stuff and can easily find whatever I need. As soon as I have done something I through the piece of paper away and that’s it. It’s pretty handy actually. If you don’t through pieces of paper away though, it will get you into trouble.

Speaker C. I’d tried many things, really. There’re piles of undo diaries and daily planners in my room, I simply forget to take them with me. But I have found a perfect solution. There is a thing that I will never ever forget to take with me as I leave home. This is my cell phone. I bought one with bill and daily planner, it works like magic. I can’t imagine my life without it now. It even gets beeps every time I have to do something, which works magic. At least for me.

Speaker D. I must say, I don’t do anything special to remember what I’ve planned to do. I have a pretty good memory which has never failed me. I just try to make an effort, I memorize it all each time I need to. This is probably do to my genes as my parents and my sister have an excellent memory as well. So, it kind of runs in our family. I really shouldn’t be boasting about it, because it isn’t my achievement or success. I was just born with it.

Speaker E. Each morning I make a long list to do. In the morning my memory is fresh and I can clearly remember all my plans for today. I put it all on the piece of paper and as soon as I have done something I immediately tick it or cross it. It gives me a strong sense of satisfaction which I enjoy, but this method so to say isn’t perfect as it doesn’t help with people’s birthdays or other special dates. So I’m thinking of how to improve my method.

Speaker F. I know what I do is very childish, but I can’t help it really. I put some pen marks on my hand or a palm, so I see them and remember about it. My parents regard it as strange and untidy but I find it so convenient. The only problem is when you wash your hands, your inscription can vanish and you may never remember what was there. My parents say they’ll give me a permanent marker, but I think that’s too much. They are joking about it anyway.
