Forgetfulness in ADD is frequently connected to how information enters working memory. If a task is mentioned while attention is elsewhere, it may never become a reliable memory in the first place.
Practical ideas
- Write tasks down at the moment they appear.
- Pair reminders with a specific time or location.
- Repeat key details out loud to strengthen encoding.
- Avoid relying on mental notes during transitions.
