I make lists of everything except my bucket list, that one I just keep on the computer under ideas. I also keep paper and pen next to my bed as that is when things pop into my head and I can't fall a sleep, I just reach over (don't even turn on the light) & write down my idea then I can go to sleep with no problem. When I am not home I send myself emails of things I want to do when I return. I keep a small note pad in my purse for when I am out and I see something either that I want and give a hint to someone or something to purchase in the future for someone else.
