Like a budget hard drive after 6 months use, my memory is shot. I feel like I can barely remember anything.
I’ve been learning to code for the past 6 months and I have to periodically relearn all the concepts I had already learnt to implement them. I must mention that I am also trying to learn another language as well as do my full-time day job at the same time.
It feels like I am barely making any progress and that has been a shot in the arm to my confidence.
I don’t want to feel like I suck at everything, the only thing I think I have going for myself is that I think I can improve myself.
Any tips to help with memory retention?
I don’t know. I have a similar journal, but I find myself dreading entering info in it because there’s too much to do and the ADHD makes it even more difficult to process and commit to.
There’s also just too much to do and too little time. There’s just too many things to cope with.
Oh, for sure.
I do what I can, which is better than not at all. Some days I put a lot in there, some days I can’t be bothered, and that’s ok. My spreadsheet has helped me find software fixes I’ve seen before, rather than relying on a web search. Plus it’ll have my notes with links to my own tools/folders, etc.
The phone app I find useful for health stuff, since I wont remember the last time a symptom occurred, or something new started - you never know when say a random pain in your thumb will be meaningful info.
