In the last few years, my symptoms have improved in one area (task completion) but have severely worsened in another: short term memory. In fact, it’s become so bad that I can’t even remember what I just said a moment before 9 times out of 10, not just what others may have said.
How do you deal with remembering things like that?
Writing things down, especially in meetings, is really difficult for me because I end up spending more time typing and less time thinking about what people are saying.
For me I distract myself just enough to be entertained but not enough to lose myself. At work this involves finding relevant gifs and posting them in chat. I can go back and review the gifs and remember practically everything. If main chat doesn’t work, I pick a coworker to send them to. Works well for me. School? Pretty hopeless. I have a hard time retaining but luckily at this point must stuff is recorded for my school.
