Have you had the experience of losing a word altogether? No matter how many times you relearn it, you can't recall it when you need it. I have for years used a product called ClipMate. It allows fast storage of clipboard items into organized folders. I have one called "words." There are some words that for the life of me I just cannot bring to mind no matter how often I use them. So I keep a list of them there. When I draw a blank, I have just to scan through the list to find it. "Contrived" is one, and "circumspect." They're not obscure or difficult words but somehow they hide from me. Of course, that trick doesn't help when I'm away from my computer. And there are new words to be added to the list all the time, assuming I can eventually find them in the first place. I'll bet a good ten percent of my time on line is spent tracking down something I can't remember and is bugging me. The game to which I am addicted is Free Cell. It's both mindless and mindful at the same time. I have a game going in a background window all the time and I play it while "watching" TV or in between surfing expeditions. I use Free Cell Wizard, which has many variations on the game and some convenience features.
