Am I that only one that does this?

So, I tend to write down a list of my favorite stuff (characters, food, drinks, anything) because I tend to forget about what my favorite thing is especially when it comes to my top number 1 for some reason and I would usually remember on my own or go back to my notes to reread it. This has started since I was about 16 or so and I’m 20 now still writing notes which I don’t mind but I wonder why can’t I at least remember some things in order and I’m wondering if I’m the only one that goes through this, especially at this age and wondering if this is normal. Thanks!
