Hi.
This is a very natural lacuna many many suffer. IN other's cases it is for a different thing. So do not worry.
You can improvise with self-help only- you can write on a pad.
And now-a-days you have navigation / GPS system in whatever you want- in mobile, in car.
So use them and come out of the problem.
