What have you forgotten?
Tony doesn't see it as being forgetful. Not really. Minds like his are not made to be forgetful; he just has a sort of selective memory. There are other things that he has to do, or think about, or manage. Sometimes he just prioritizes, and the things that he has to do at a certain moment may just be stored in some other part of his brain to be done later. Later than he's supposed to be scheduled for.
There have been meetings that he has "forgotten." Conference calls, emails to answer, people to meet. There have been post-its that have been left behind on desks, or work stations, or still stuck on the borders of computer monitors where he should see them, but he doesn't. Or he does, but he doesn't pay the attention that he should. There's always a project, some new thing he's building, a new aspect of the hot rod that he's fixing up. There are sometimes other type of "meetings," with one or more beautiful women, and well what is he supposed to do? It would be bad manners to simply leave them hanging. Tony Stark hates leaving something unfinished, after all.
It's Pepper the one that realizes and has to deal with what he forgets. She's the deal that has to deal with the aftermath, and trying to get him to do whatever it is he forgot to do. But now, even if there aren't just meetings or conference calls, there are missions that he has to fly out to, and people that he has to save.
The women, and sometimes the men depending on his mood... Well, those are always going to be a distraction.
But he doesn't see it as being forgetful. He just had something else that he had to do, whether he remembered about it or not.
