<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

I've always been a bit forgetful, but I've been aware of just how forgetful I am since I met my now wife. She is thoughtful and organised, and doesn't mind pointing out things I've forgotten. 

My forgetfulness is related to pretty standard or common things that people forget. Like plan to do a chore (something like do some washing) or pick something up on the way home and completely blank on it. 

My issue is I seem to do it A LOT, and my wife is losing her patience. This is compounded by the fact we have a newborn.

I have no reason or excuse for forgetting things. I often try to set reminders or add events into my calendar (which works for the most part) but sometimes I forget to set the events.

Other aspects of my life are fine. I have a steady career, and we own a home together. I can manage these aspects ok, but my general forgetfulness has made me unreliable.

I try to be a good person, and the idea of being "unreliable" is deeply upsetting.

I hope someone may have advice on how I may change my mindset to keep on top of things.
<bot>: I'm forgetful with every day mundane tasks but their frequency is driving my wife nuts. I want to manage it better
