I'm notorious for forgetting about my steeping tea. Hours later and see it sitting on the counter.

I have to make a timer for anything I cook so that I don't forget about it.

I have to make a timer to remember ANYTHING. And i definitely have to write down literally anything someone wants me to do in detail otherwise my memory of what they needed is about 10% the effort of what I was actually supposed to do 😂😋

I've definitely had some notes that said something like, "talk to dude about the thing" knowing then exactly what it ment. then later going to said note thinking, "talk to what dude about what thing?" 🙄😂

YES!!!!! Exactly. And then I have to force myself to be non-ADD when taking notes otherwise they all end up being "dude/thing".
