How many times each day (or hour)?

Do you see or think of something that needs to be done, and decide to do some other task first, then not be able to remember what needed to be done?

So far today I've done it twice and I've only been up a couple of hours... I need a keeper🫤

It happens occasionally, when I have a particularly busy day- especially full of people bugging me to do things for them. but not a day full of high priority tasks. So then it's easy to get distracted by more tasks and multitasking rather then work my way down a priority list efficiently. I tend to break out sticky notes or I write down a list on my phone to help me remember. I did this in uni when I did school and worked several jobs so I worked 40 hours a week to support myself...I was too exhausted to remember everything

I have a feeling that 30 years from now when I'm in my sixties, that I will go back to having a central location full of sticky notes everywhere with messages as I grow forgetful. Lol.

@shakemeup I've long known I should make lists or use sticky notes. Unfortunately, knowing and doing seem to be two different things😄

I often find as I'm preparing one area for a near future task something else will confront my attention which, if i do that first....

@Picklebobble2 Yep, I think I need to carry a note pad in my pocket to jot these down... obviously my memory isn't functional😁

I’m a ADHD style cleaner haha… start one thing, end up in a totally different room doing a completely unrelated task haha

@WaryWitchWandering Ugh! Me too! I' start out in my bedroom thinking I need to make my bed, then decide I need coffee first, and by the time I finally get back to making my bed for the day, it's noon and I've got a half dozen other things underway that I've not yet completed... and can't friggin' remember I even started🤣
