Is it normal if i keep lists of everything

I keep a lists of everything (example : pets I had, movies I've watched, restaurants I went to, bf, etc...pretty much everything)

I think I may fear forgetting it... I have a bad memory and I don't know why but it's important for me to remember those things.

Is it normal?

    Forgetting my own life is one of the scariest things I've ever known. Keep a diary or start a blog, or both.

    I've always done this to some extent. Nowadays, I just keep a diary.

    Ironically, people on IIN occasionally make it into my diary, because lots of you say things which both amuse and amaze me.

        hehe, I can't remember, but someone on IIN asking whether they made it into my diary, is probably going to make it into my diary. :P

          This diary of yours sounds fascinating. I kind of want to read it.

            Pick a date in the last ten years or so, and I'll happily transcribe it for you. Unless there's something really bad in there, in which case, you'll have to pick another day.

    I made lists of everything I own in case of robbery. Not that I own a lot. Most of my stuff is not worth any value. Unless books are worth stealing.

    Are you keeping a list of these answers? Also how does my size compare to the last guy?

    I used to do that ever since I was little, and now I realized that it helped! I can't remember half the stuff I wrote down anymore, and now I wish I wrote more stuff down because I've forgotten more than I thought I would

    A good friend of mine suffered a brain injury and has a limited short term memory. He has tattooed a list of things to remember on his arm. Patience, humility, levity, compassion...lists are good.

    Take pictures. Just one picture of an evening or event or person will be enough to trigger all the rest of your related memories.
