Being very absent-minded, I've worked out coping strategies
for example, "programming" myself: deliberately forming habits to compensate for my shocking memory. So, I can't close an external door without checking that I have my keys. Not too weird, except that I'm so programmed that I even do that when leaving other peoples' houses. Where my keys don't fit.

Another one is "do it now" -- if I think of something that needs doing, I'll stop my current activity and do it. I'm more likely to work out what I interrupted than I am to remember the task later, even if I have several nested tasks pending completion. Drives my wife nuts, as she likes to finish one task completely before starting a new one.

Have you ever interrupted sex to go and put the bins out?

You should talk to your doctor about Ritalin.
