Our mental sticky notes are less sticky, and often fall of the wall mid-task.

Our thoughts are often lost while speaking, leading to unfinished sentences.

Reread paragraphs or pages after reading long passages of text.

Difficulty keeping numbers in our heads long enough to manipulate them.

We interrupt in an attempt to process and capture an idea before it’s lost.

The smallest interruption can erase what we were just thinking or doing.

Getting ideas onto paper before we forget taxes our working memory.

Tasks that have multiple steps often lead to forgetting things mid-task.
