But you could learn and practise a mnemonic method for remembering lists
see
http://www.rogerdarlington.me.uk/remember.html
"In the number-rhyme system, you create a word which sounds like each of the numbers 1 to 10. Derren Brown uses these words: 1-bun, 2-shoe, 3-tree, 4-door, 5-hive, 6-sticks, 7-heaven, 8-gate, 9-line, 10-hen. Say you want to remember telephone, sausage, monkey in order. You might picture a bun in the shape of a telephone with the buttons in the form of currants, then a sausage filling up an empty shoe, next monkey in a tree. You have the idea."
I learnt that one from a great UK television series "Use Your head" by Tony Buzan
there is a series of 14 videos on Youtube of that BBC series for example

Thank you John, but, with respect, Life's too short, I will stick to my trusty note book and pen. (When I remember to take them)
