- When and what do you want to remember recently?
I want to remember important information that I heard from other classmates in a class and the deep impressions and feelings I had when I saw the great artwork in MOMA.
- Have you ever experienced feeling frustrated trying to remember something?
I very often forget to call someone although I try to remember it all the time, and to boil water or heat food. So, I have many pans burnt down.

I usually put the object in a designated place, but I put it in another place and forget them when I am very busy.

ISSUE 2: GATHER EXAMPLES ABOUT HOW TO REMEMBER

I forget where I post the post-it that I wrote information. I posted it on my computer or calendar, then I forgot that totally.

The diary is not uncomfortable to carry.
