ADHD means writing shit down even if you "know" you'll remember. You WANT to remember. You won't remember. It sucks. But what's more important: trying to force your brain to function normatively—and flagellating yourself when invariably it can't—or getting your shit done? 9/
Jiminy CHRISTMAS, this. I can't count the number of times I've tried to hold the name of someone in my head at FC 2020 only to have it flee as soon as I walk out of the room. It's SO frustrating.
@jakebe I've been trying to kickstart a habit of writing down anything I'm likely to want to reference later... by doing this for a tabletop RP in which my character should definitely remember a lot of stuff.
I can't always keep up when writing or typing, but it still means a lot more sinks into deeper memory, especially when I rewrite those notes into a denser but more searchable form. I'm trying to start pulling the habit into my non-RP life!
