I used to forget attachments all the time. I developed a trick that has reduced the number of instances greatly. As soon as I write "find it in the attachments, enclosed"; I stop writing and attach it. I force myself to do it, right then. Then I go back to writing all about the attachment.

For the second time in a few days, I forgot an attachment. Grr.
So you take the star chart, turn it until it matches the sky that you see. Then you read off the number "RA" from the top or bottom of the chart. If you read it from the top, this happens to be identical to the local sidereal time. Then you enter the table below for the correction. Easy!
