i have this issue at work a lot i work in analytics so sometimes we are moving through several different but related tasks and i can remember them during the week when i am working on them but the next week or beyond it’s like i just skimmed through someone else work it’s a big issue during career development conversations because they’ll ask me what i’ve been working on and i can barely come up with anything i’ve started trying to keep a list of at least high level the things i worked on to jog my memory but then i have to remember to update the list i generally have really good reading comprehension and memory if i go slow like rereading every sentence 5x i still forget most of it within a few months but i can hold some details if i really try hard it was a nightmare in high schoolcollege because it shouldn’t take 5 hours which is not an exaggeration before medication to read 1 chapter of a textbook at first my notes were extensive like half the length of the chapter and eventually i learned to tone that down which helped especially since my hand written notes were nearly impossible to read now i am filled with dread when someone puts an email up on the screen during meetings and says “read through this really quickly and we can talk about it”
