If you feel frustrated because you cannot remember where you left something, take comfort that even the Pope loses things sometimes.
Pope Benedict's elder brother, Georg Ratzinger, 81, told Germany's Bild am Sonntag newspaper the pontiff's main weakness was his forgetfulness.
"He sometimes misplaces things, and all of a sudden doesn't know where his watch, his keys or a specific paper are anymore," the paper quoted Mr Ratzinger as saying.
What does Georg value most in his sibling, who is 78?
"His clarity of thought," his patience and "that we help each other out," the newspaper quoted him as saying.
