                    STATS ON FORGETFULNESS
I was relieved recently to find out that I’m not the only one who forgets things. According to researcher Karen Bolla, everyone does at one time or another.
These are the six things people most often forget:

•	(5). what was said	49%
•	(4). words	53%
•	(3).
