My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.

There's nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩

One trick I use for that is to say it out loud, so I can access it in my echoic memory. Echoic memory doesn’t last very long, but sometimes long enough!

When I need to remember a string of numbers... Yup just repeat it to myself over and over or I'll forget within a minute lol

Occasionally, I find that I screw up the order of the numbers at some point between reading them and using them, then I'm just repeating a bunch of meaningless digits to myself for no reason.
