What's your go-to method to remember things? If you have more than one method that works well for you, feel free to describe both.

For me, I best remember things if I make a calendar event on my phone. My phone tends to be the first thing I look at when I wake up out of force of habit. I'm used to waking up to my phone sounding my alarm for school, so it feels natural to check it when I wake up. If I have a calendar event saved on there for the morning, I'll see it first thing and remember to do it that day.

"!remindme Make dinner in 4 hours and 23 minutes" is a good way to get reminded, I'm all the time on Discord.
For real though, I simply put them in my head or write it on my hand or something whenever it's something important. And hope I see it~

I may also just ask someone to remind me of something which has worked before multiple times to be honest

In my case, if I physically write something down, I'll instantly remember what it is without even looking at my note. Its kind of hard to explain.

If I just think of something that I need to do the next day, I'm likely to forget what it was when I actually get up. But if I wrote it down on something ( like a sticky note or my notepad on my phone ), I would remember what it is and I wouldn't have to look at whatever I wrote it down on.

So yeah ... I like to write things down if I wanna remember them.

TheJmsGamer : Lol nice ways to remember. I used to use the technique of asking my parents to help remind me of things. But it didn't work as much as I wanted because they also forgot. They have had too much going on, which is also a reason I've been so active on vizzed

MattyIce : It's weird how that works and I agree that it's unable to be explained! I wrote a daily to-do list on a sticky note. I haven't really looked at it much since the day I made it.

I feel like my method is to write down the information if it's like a number or information that has length, but if it is a quick thing to remember or something short, I just say it in my head and out loud over and over.

In my case I have what is called a photographic memory. On the other hand directions and names I am really bad at so most of the time I write those down.

pacman1755 : Yeah if something is long I'm unlikely to remember it unless I look at it first and then repeat it to myself.

tornadocam : I'm bad with directions and names too. I don't even know the names of most of the streets in my subdivision :/ I'm mostly good with remembering random events from 5 years ago, or funny jokes someone made recently.

Therefore, pen and paper or the notes you can write on Windows 7 versions for regular PC's, not laptops.

MarioLucarioFan64 : Sometimes that's the case for me too. I'll remember something without writing it down and then I get all excited about that and forget it!

By the way, about the pen and paper thing: I have a better memory of a thing I write down in pen than one with a pencil.

In most cases I rely on my own memory. Though there are some exceptions, with school assignments and homework I usually don't have to make an effort to because we use an online service called schoolsoft where teachers are supposed to post what we need to do so I have it all  organized in one place. If there's something really important I'm supposed to be doing at a specific time during the day I might set an alarm on my phone beforehand which reminds me, I might also write a small note if I'm going shopping or something along those lines.

Zlinqx : For a long time I've wanted to rely on my own memory. But most times it's simply too risky. I like setting reminders on my phone for things too since, like most Americans, I really like my cell phone. I'm on it right now in fact, posting this while in immense expressway traffic.

For school, we use an online service too for assignments. It isn't just for teachers to remind us, but also they can attach documents or websites for us to do the work on. It's called Google Classroom.

It really depends on what it is. If it is something I'm looking forward to I'll of course remember, but for the most part, I just to set and make reminders for myself. I have a day to day planner I use. I always have a bad hobbit of forge ting that one thing.

Droog : Exactly. It's hard to remember something that you aren't very excited about! :/ I think once I'm in college I'll need a day to day planner so I don't forget responsibilities on top of my schoolwork.

If it's something I want to remember, I'll repeat it to myself over and over for a short bit before remembering it fully. My memory is very good, so it doesn't take too much effort and sometimes I just remember small insignificant things. For example, I remember the code to the desert in Zelda Oracle of Seasons is 33211444. I also remember my old phone number that I haven't used since I was at least 5, and I remember that fellow vizzed user Thing1 watched gilmore girls.

thing1 : Meem

no 8120 : Lol I can write something down on a notecard but sometimes I have to see it to recall it later without digging through the depths of my brain to find it.

yoshirulez! : Unimportant things are so easy to remember because we are interested in them so much. That's why studying is so hard XD

yoshirulez! : I still can not figure out why the heck that is what you always remember ahout me. Not my charmingly good looks, nor my impecable ability to sit around and be bored. Nope, you have to remember that I watch Gilmore Girls. 

For me, I tend to just do something over and over again. So, repatitions, I suppose.

thing1 : Well people are great at remembering embarrassing facts about others I find repetition to be helpful once in a while. Doing the same routine helps me remember to do it all... until it gets boring and I forget it all.

Taking notes on my phone usually does the trick. Since I don't have any plans, I take detailed notes on how to get where. That's also where I make my grocery list, exercise routine, etc. I guess I should use it even more often, as I tend to be forgetful unless I perform the request right away.

Taking notes on my school iPad or using my marker board in my room is usually how I remember things. I also have to make a routine out of most things or else they slip my mind. I literally forget to feed my cat if I get sick because my routine gets all kinds of messed up.
