We all know that as we get older it's sometimes a challenge to keep our minds as sharp as they used to be. What are some of the things you do to either stay sharp or make sure you do things you need to do, like take medication or put the trash out on the right day? I know my cell phone is constantly ringing.

I pretty much do all the things I did 20 years ago
about 5 years or so I started writing stories and poems
I enjoy doing lots of things. I work on my shell crafts.Which I do for pleasure and profit.I go out with or have friends over for game night.Visit or talk to my children a couple of times a week at least.Walk by the river.I do lots of word games and also like crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles.Watch TV, listen to music, read ,play on my P/C.I also like going to the Flea Markets.I am always busy.
I keep little bright pink reminder notes pegged onto my kitchen curtain
until the deed is carried out. (They're not coming to take me away) lol!
I'll make a note of that to have as a back-up idea, thanks Lyn.
i watch Jeopardy everyday
The Bold & The Beautiful for me,
(it's very good for helping to remember who done what to who
along with when, where and why).....LOL!
I love the Young and the Restless. Have been watching it on and off since 1981. Took a few weeks, but I figured out who all the players are. It's keeping up with their sex life that's confusing. Miss too many episodes they go from married to screwing around and you don't know how they got there. :)
I'm still working full-time as a medical transcriptionist, so I listen to clinicians dictate every day. I have to look up diagnoses, lab tests, medications, etc, and this keeps my brain pretty sharp. I do forget though, so I also write notes and keep them near my computer. I always right down a shopping list. I also have a routine and do things in the same order most of the time.
I pretty much gave up working a year ago. I was working with real estate contracts and when you keep forgetting drop dead dates in the contract, it's time to go. It was too stressful. I had a great reputation in the business and when I got physically ill from something else, I decided it was time to retire before I ruined my wonderful reputation.
Clever girl, as my eldest lass works as a Property Manager and while the work is always fast moving, very interesting and must be 100% legally correct, also including the frailties of human nature with multiple scenarios, I view it as a hugely stressful job as far as time management goes and it seems that there is simply too much work for one person to keep abreast of all the time, I've witnessed the effect it has had on my daughter and all I can say is that there is no job in the world that is worth robbing you of your health.
