I went on a mobile phone cleanse for one month where I limited my phone browsing and texting to one hour a day. Instead of texting I called my friends or sent an email via my laptop. I also got back on gchat to chat with friends live on my laptop. My memory improved dramatically and I was shocked/terrified lol.

I’ve hit my head so many times I’ve given up with s things like this. I just simplify my life more and more. No need to have a lot of belongings or things going on at one time. It makes remembering the important things much easier

sounds like adhd my guy. even from what you just said.

sometimes it's easier to adapt. it's a spectrum. i'm bipolar to the point i've been diagnosed psychotic and all. i don't take meds. fucks meds. i'm me. 🙏

side note; practice mindfulness. being self aware all the time really eliminated a lot of that. at least outwardly.

Is this a walk in clinic thing or do you go somewhere more specialized?

Seek treatment for ADD

Appreciate the nice words but if this whole time I do end up having adhd, not that bad tbh I've been out here killing it.

sorry. 🙏

it's not the worst thing to have. any consolation.

Well I'll be damned

take melatonin and magnesium.

if that doesn't work, seek some medical help.

you probably have adhd. from your description.

Yes, simplify and optimize. If you have a place for things, always return to their spot. When a date comes up for something immediately put it in the calendar. Make lists.

Possibly ADHD medication. If its just this I wouldn't worry about it, but might want to consider if you have other symptoms that are negatively affecting your life.

Me I just leave the keys in my pocket. Just dont send them through the wash.

for me personally, if there is something I'm afraid I will forget, I stop what I am doing, and say it out loud. saying it and hearing it seems to help.

Just use NextDNS

Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Reduce the number of things you have to remember. Write things down and set yourself reminders in a calendar. Put things in the same place each time.

Also, pay attention to what you’re forgetful about. Maybe there’s a pattern that points at some underlying reason.

Try not to think about it.

This is the only answer. Get organized, set routines and stick to them. Have a place for everything and everything in its place.

I use a long obnoxious lanyard with loud colors and have a super special key place on the wall that I can easily hit as I walk in and out. I have lost my keys twice in two years and it used to be nearly daily. My solutions involve just accepting I’m out of storage space in my brain and make situations automated.

Same with me. Now, I learned to slow down before I leave home and give myself one minute to relax so my memory kicks in.

This goes double for merging on the freeway as well

Set up for success. The keys ALWAYS go in the same place. Just like everything else you need often.

As I wrote that title it did sound weird to me. You know what I meant lmao

This is how my father taught me to drive. Only exception is when the separate turn lane is significantly short and you don't have enough space to slow down without slamming the breaks.
