× Yes, just few days ago was my grandmother's 80th birthday and I forgot about it until my father reminded me in the evening.
✓ Yes, just a few days ago was my grandmother's 80th birthday and I forgot about it until my father reminded me in the evening.
The phrase 'just few days ago' is missing the article 'a' before 'few'. 'Few' is a quantifier that requires an article when used in this context. The correct phrase is 'a few days ago'.
× I try to remember important things by writing down them.
✓ I try to remember important things by writing them down.
The phrase 'writing down them' is incorrect because the pronoun 'them' should come immediately after the verb 'writing' and before 'down'. The correct order is 'writing them down'.
× Otherwise I just notes up.
✓ Otherwise, I just make notes.
The phrase 'I just notes up' is ungrammatical. 'Notes' is a noun, and 'up' is incorrectly used here. The correct expression is 'I just make notes' to indicate the action of taking notes.
× Just use notes app on my phone to remember things.
✓ I just use the Notes app on my phone to remember things.
The original sentence lacks a subject and the definite article 'the' before 'Notes app'. Adding 'I' as the subject and 'the' before 'Notes app' makes the sentence complete and grammatically correct.
