There’s this herb that’s supposed to be really great at improving your memory.
I’ll tell you what it is as soon as I remember the name of it!..................
When I think of something I need to do right now, I speak it out loud.
If it is something I need to do in the future, I write it down on a calendar or in a journal.
I got the CRS real bad. Its exhausting!
(Cain’t Remember $h!t)

In more advanced stages it’s called CRAFT.
ginkgo biloba
I can relate to that but it gets worse...At least when you went outside to water the garden, you didn’t forget why you went outside...And then have to go back inside to get into that ‘frame’ to remember...
Haha. I am like this article too but never got to smoke ... til now.
Happy Ginkgo Bilboa to you too!............................
I’m not quite there yet. On the rare occasions when I’m home alone I can still get partial tasks done while bouncing between chores until I’ve usually gotten a pretty fair number of them completed (eventually). But I can see becoming a guy with Age-Activated ADD at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks for sharing, Sodpoodle.
At least I can remember what CRS stands for...
Wasn’t he in Lord of the Rings?
That’s funny and I’ve done it too...
I think it was Lord of the Flies..................The dead Pilot..................
What?
Guilty. You forgot to add the “wifey” effect. When she breaks my concentration and asks me to drop whatever task(s) I’m currently involved with to take care of some meaningless task (that just can’t wait) for her.
Being an old programmer, I use stacks. My cuurent task gets suspended and placed on the stack while I endeavor to please her. If I complete the task to her satisfaction, I’ll restart my task(s) and resume whatever I was doing. If not, I have to abort everything and start over.
A simple question such as “Have you fed the cat today” can raise the hair on my back and completely break my concentration when I’m busy. If I reply “No!”, all I’ll get is a “What did you say?”. Rather than repeat “NO!” three times and receive the same response, it’s quicker to stop and feed the damn cat. (She says I mumble but I think she really needs a hearing aide badly”.)
It’s not full-blown CRS yet, but I’m getting there.
Been there. Done That...and that...and that...and...

LOL - good one
If only I could figure out how to work my phone, I could leave messages for myself:
“Self, you are going downstairs to get laundry”
