Honestly if I could figure out how to fix my problems in this area it would be worth my time, do you have any suggestions?
I don't have a problem with short or long term memory, in certain contexts. I can hold entire problem definitions and codebases in my head while working, but I often set down my keys on the way to pick up my water bottle and get to my car only to have no idea where they are. I can remember details of specifications, language features, video game mechanics, etc. for years, but often can't remember someone's name.
There's a whole cottage industry of social media telling me this is ADHD but I don't know if that's real or just for clicks, and if I can improve these issues.
