Not all memory aids are high-tech. Simple notebooks can be lifesavers when it comes to remembering names, details, and to-do lists. The trick is to have the notebook handy at all times. Very small books that slip into a pocket or bag work well. The trick is finding the best quality notebook at the best price.
