answer:Don’t discount your busy schedule, stress, and sleep. I sleep about 5 hours (max) per night, have 3 kids, and with my wife in school I am basically a single dad right now. I have no time. I find that my memory is not what I’d like it to be. One thing that I find helpful is to have a way to dump any concerns or “things I need to remember” immediately. As soon as a thought crosses my mind (“I need to remember to ____”), I immediately put it in my smartphone and I can stop my mind from having to keep this. It seems to free it up for other things. I have complex reminders/alarm systems that keep me moving forward through the chaos that is my life. This seems to help with remembering things because I’m delegating tasks to my phone.
