Forgetful Times

Who else has a horrible memory?

I feel as time goes on mine gets worse and worse. I can be doing one thing then suddenly have another thought interrupt me and then forget what I was doing to begin with and must stop dead in my tracks and ponder for a moment to ask myself, “What was I originally doing again”?

Not only this, but I set so many alarms on my phone to go off throughout the day to remind me what I need to do when I am somewhere or at a certain time. If I do not do this it normally ends up getting done several days later. I even have a agenda or two or three with calendars of scheduled events but then forget to look at those so what does that help?

My husband says it is because I do not let my mind stop and I try to do too many things at once, multitask, but my thought is if I am doing something and then think I need to do something else I need to do it then as well or try to otherwise I will forget it entirely which is the initial issue at hand, and if I do not do it this way then it will never get done. I even forget what needs to go on my shopping list if I do not add it immediately when finding out we need this item.

What is funny is do you remember seeing those shows or movie scenes where someone finds their car keys in the fridge? Welp I have done this along with somehow leaving my glasses in there and losing them, or thin I have lost them. Then I have placed the milk in the pantry and several other incidences such as this have happened. I have also put something down and forgot where I put it a second later whether things are cluttered or neatly in their place.

I read somewhere coffee can help with memory. When looking into it more thoroughly it turns out caffeine can assist with memory but only if the information you are taking in is done at the same time you are taking in the caffeine. I can see this being slightly true, I drink coffee quite regularly when reading and studying and do retain slightly a little of the information at the time more then I normally would but do not believe I can start drinking it 24/7 throughout all activities to remember everything.

Oh well, my poor memory can be quite funny in momentarily lapses to those around me that witness these incidents and my sudden abrupt stops in thought processes, and I will for sure keep drinking that coffee caffeine in hopes that it may help my memory in the future.

So, how’s that memory of yours doing?
