I'm old enough to know I need a shopping list. I'm also old enough to forget the shopping list when I go shopping. Sometimes I can remember some of the things on the list but the next time I go shopping I DO remember the list but I forgot that I bought some of the things on the list.

I was trying to lose weight and my doctor recommended I try chewing gum. So I put that on my shopping list. When I got to the store, I looked at the list and tried to FIND gum in the store. I couldn't find any gum anywhere. My DECADES of ignoring stuff in-line at the cash register would not let me SEE the gum. Three trips to the store with gum on the list before I finally figured it out.

I need to be reachable when I'm out and about but I get it. I've thought about getting a flip phone and just using my smartphone on WiFi at home if I need to but that's about as far as I'd go I think.
Yea, I hear that. I'm retired and my job was on-call 24-7. I have grown to hate phones and NOW I can.

I buy gum in bulk. It's like half the price per pack. You could probably order it online to save yourself some trouble.
What kinds of gum?
Excel or Dentene. From wholesalers. It's what the stores buy to sell to people at a markup.
I'm stealing this to say in a work meeting.
Remember Toad, and don't forget to start your list with
I've managed to train myself to use one for shops but alas not other tasks
