I placed inexpensive analog clocks all over the house, because I forget the time right after I check it. This has helped me tremendously.

Same here. I have clocks in every room, some with two or more

Another amazing informational session, Dr. Saline!!! My son was tested at the Brown ADHD Clinic regarding his working memory and it is worse, way worse than the average ADHD person!!! His delayed working was at the lowest score possible. He doesn’t suffer from emotional dysregulation, outwardly anyway. In fact he seems to have very blunted emotional reactions. From childhood until now, his emotional reaction to anything seems delay, blunted or no existence. Thank you for the tips!!! The information you provide is so practical and useful. Please keep it coming. M

Alexa has been a game changer. I can just shout things out to her and she can remind me of things.

Same for me too. Especially for my grocery shopping. But I also have her remind me of trash day, clean the litter boxes, etc…

I forget all the time. I notice a pattern of when I am interrupted I forget a lot and often loose track. My mind is just not flexible.

The sublist of the things that are the most valuable and will take the most time- struggle how to break down especially over time- and they are emotionally charged ie. Divorce, job search. Longterm to do list are neglected because they are overwhelming

•Due to 4 TBIs, incoming language sometimes is mere garble. I forget the garble. Sometimes I can have an instant replay of the sound, and I will be able to recover some words or some meaning. Other times the instant replay is the identical garble. •Seeing too many objects makes me forget (whether the objects are for moving, packing, even just to go out, or de-cluttering/cleaning). •If I go to a cupboard, drawer, or closet, or even a book index, seeing the many objects or listings makes me instantly forget what I went there for. The thing I was looking for instantly loses its primary valence, and all the objects become either equally important or equally unimportant. 🧐 •But the thing that mystifies me the most is that all these problems are intermittent, not constant. During good times, I would even call them merely occasional. •That doesn’t make a lot of sense. I can understand that stress affects working memory, but *nothing* causes cascade failure, which I would expect concatenating stress to do. •It hasn’t, not even during COVID. The forgetting always goes back to being merely intermittent. That makes me wonder if something of my brain resilience + character + effort can help me this much, is there anything else which will actually correct this? •Medications have been uniformly terrible, therapy I view as mostly compassion + pep talks, and some supplements and brain treatments have helped, but nothing yet amounts to recovery. •I am 68, first head injury at age 1, but I am still so determined to recover. I have a lot left to contribute. •Thanks for asking what makes us forget. •Oh, I almost forgot, if I don’t eat meat every 2 hours, I get severe brain fog and forgetting. My nephew was the same way as a child. I’m a vegetarian by nature, so much that I still eat one vegetarian meal a day, in an attempt to reclaim myself. (x 40 years!) •But I have to eat meat every two hours, and if the brain fog gets too bad in my sleep (it even permeates my sleep if it’s really bad), then I get up to eat. At all meals, only one or two bites is necessary, not a 2 oz or 4 oz serving. Why???

No TBI's here - just age 66 w/adhd. But my incoming info often needs to be written and verbal to be understood (verbal needs at least visual key words or points 1,2,3 etc). I feel like Charlie Brown sitting in class with his teacher calling on him - her voice represented nonsensically by a trumpet player with a mute going weh- wah- wah - wah..... KZbin with closed caption is so very useful

Hi Dr. Sharon, I am a woman in Australia, diagnosed 3mths ago at age 52. I am interested in your version of the Eisenhower Matrix but can't find it on your website. Is it in one of your books or should I just try another one online? I love your videos, thank you. You are so patient and compassionate. I wish my psych would talk to me like an intelligent human and explain things, not just prescribe me drugs and hurry me out. So I am learning all I need to know online. In answer to the other person's question about if minimalism helps(i.e. decluttering), ABSOLUTELY! The less clutter you have, the less distractions you have, the less mess you have, the less you have to organise and the more focused you can be. I halved my belongings over the past year and am so much happier and more functional, as is my son.

All the time !!!!! I can check the time on the clock 20 times a day ! Also, I am incapable of judging 10 mins from 30 mins. However, strangely, if I say to myself "tomorrow I MUST wake up at 7am (etc...)" it generally works. Wierd !
