LOL This is how I know what day of the week it is - when I get up in the morning I take my pills with my coffee and they are in one of those containers that says Mon - Tues etc. because it is easier than opening each bottle every day to get pills out.

I look forward to the time I lose track of days & time!

I couldn't care less what day it is as long as I wake up every morning.

If I have an appointment I can set it on my phone to remind me.

I have a twice a week med.  Although I always check the day/date when I log on the computer, I do know.

@151949Then you don't have a problem with wondering what day it is but just some of your friends

that is why my DH is still working. He wants to remain active as long as he can. We are well over retirement age but he wants to keep his hands busy.

Buy yourself a Monthly Planner from Dollar Tree. They're the perfect size for keeping track of appts. and activities. Be sure to enter little things...such as call a friend, vacuum, fill the bird feeder, read my book, etc.

I retired in 2013 and only forget what I choose to really.  Never miss an appointment or like that.  I am a stickler about being on time fir appointments.    Some days I might have to think is it Wednesday or Thursday....but a look at my calendar takes care of that. And that only happens when I am staying home and my days at home kind of mirror one another with my daily routine.

I like this idea.

@SeaMaiden  Pretty much the same with me and I retired in 2008.  I might confuse the day of the week occasionally or whether it is the 18th or 19th.  But as soon as I log onto my computer my brain resets itself.  I keep a pocket calendar and review it at least once weekly just to jog my brain for future appointments or other events.  I jot down all sorts of things, my husband's appointments, when our cars are due for inspection,   I also keep track of all sorts of things for my elderly Uncle.  It keeps my brain pretty functional, and pretty much have been doing this most of my life.

My dad is 94, retired for about 30 years, he still knows the day of the week and the date.
