One way to deal with Moments of Forgetfulness

I have worked out a 'trick' that serves me well concerning certain types of moments of forgetfulness. When I come across something (a fact, a name, an idea) that I am likely to want to recall at a later time, I tell myself two things:
1. "Try to remember this!"
2. "It's no big deal if you don't!"
I am in effect giving myself permission to not remember it. This has the effect, I suppose, of reducing the stress of remembering, as well as the stress of forgetting. It also, ironically, seems to make it more likely that I will remember it later. In my experience, I have been at times conscious of trying to recall something that I remember having given myself permission not to remember! It doesn't always mean that I remember what I was trying to recall, but I don't fret much about my forgetfulness, because I have 'pre-forgiven' myself ...

The trick is in remembering to pre-forgive myself and thereby increase my chances of recalling!
