Daily.

I burn through bic pens like crazy. I used to have a collection of empty ones, but someone threw them out. Now I just have the two I've killed in the last couple months.

Yesterday. The next time will be today. I keep a small notebook in my pocket at work to make notes for when I am away from the computer and I also write down important numbers and other notes that I may or may not want on my computer where anyone looking over my shoulder can see. (ie, customer is fucking up and will cost themselves a crapload of money which they may try to turn around and blame on us)

Yesterday, I wrote with a zebra pen on a napkin the ingredients for a waffle recipe (to make sure I remembered to double every ingredient)

Yesterday, and later today. I do all of my schoolwork in a notebook then type it in to the computer. I formulate what I write better physically writing it out and typing it into the computer makes for a good editing process. Even for computer-based classes I usually plan out what I am doing on paper before starting because it helps me think through it better.

About 10 minutes ago when I jotted down what I ate in ounces on a post it note, so I can enter it online on my food tracker.

I have a little list of things I need from the store on my table, I just added after-bite to the list (although that's one I am unlikely to forget)

Yesterday.

Writing any kind of information is a good memorization aid. Writing requires your brain to consider the information carefully, translate the information into meaningful scribbles, and transfer the scribbles onto paper.

Peruse any of these articles about handwriting as a memorization aid.

I knew that but I did not know that - if that makes any sense. I've frequently made it a point to write things down that I want to remember. It isn't that I will find the bit of paper later on - it is that I wrote it down and remember it because I wrote it down. It has been one of my key memorization aids since... Wow... Err... Since the mid 1960s. I was pretty young when I learned this about myself. I'd never actually looked to see if studies had been done or anything. I kind of figured everyone did it.
