Do you ever find that it is difficult to remember things? A weak memory is often hard to fix, but there are some things you can do to help yourself remember things. I’ve actually found that having a budget helps me remember certain things. How is that? Well my budget is a spreadsheet where I enter in my expenses for each month and sometimes for each pay period. Our bills are generall...
I have been able to retrieve information much like what you stated. I also like to keep a notebook for dates coming up too.
I also keep a notebook with my mileage daily and I can’t tell you what a life saver that has been. When putting my photos into an album, I was able to retrieve so much information from my mileage records.
It if a good idea as you say to keep these listings such as interest rate expirations and also for CD maturities as well. Sometimes a bank has a promotion for a special savings rate and we forget about it because there are no reminders.
My budget helps me to remember if I’ve paid a bill or not. If the space in blank, I need to pay the bill.
Oh yeah- I forgot about that one! I put in the amount that needs to be paid and when it’s been paid, I change the color.
Another word of advice – Don’t trust the Excel password protection.
