I have to jot it down. If I try to remember it, chances are, I won't. But if I write it down somewhere, even if I then throw that piece of paper away, I will remember. Not sure why.

I'm like this too. I've got a great memory as long as I have it written down somewhere. I think it's because the act of writing forces you to focus on and repeat the notion, as well as creating a visual memory for your mind to pull from. |

If it's something very important, I'll write it in my favorite notebook or I'll write it on my hand. If it's very lenghthy, I write it in my notebook. If it's anything else, I'll just take my chances with remembering it.

Depends on what it is. Stuff for school- I write down. Random knowledge I usually just try to keep in my head. I usually fail at that.

I'm pretty good at randomly bringing up past information. I'm awesome with dated pop culture references.

I usually have to write it down, just because I have so much on my mind most of the time.

I have a pretty good memory when it comes to remembering specific terms and what they mean, so I usually just read it back to myself a few times and can recall it later.
If I have to memorize a lot of things at once, though, I'll write them down.

I have a really good memory when it comes to information and finding my way around places, but I tend to lose track of things in my styhole.

I make a note of things either on my computer on a notepad or else on a piece of paper. I am so stressed 95% of the time and that leaves me scatter brained a lot so having things written down helps me be a little less stressed.
