How can I stop being so forgetful?
I am a teenager who has had this niggling problem since childhood. I forget constantly tasks and dates, and always losing things. as a result of my forgetfulness, I'm very disorganized. Once I had a glance my school records, and I saw during my history teacher comments, all the teachers I've had since grade 2 said that I must improve my organization, I am one of over 90 students and a creative individual, but this issue goes into every aspect of my life. I find myself constantly having to make compromises on things because of my forgetfulness (eg having to copy someone else linking a week before exams because mine is so dispersed, or purchase the lip balm itself, again and again because I keep losing!) I am determined to take control of this unfortunate problem, which should not really be a problem. your stuff (all in all that you find useful) would be very useful and appreciated! thank you.
As a mental health professional with 20 + years of experience, now retired, I can tell you that the best way to overcome the "forgetting" is relaxed. People put a lot of pressure on you, perhaps when you're young, to remember and we remember that, and most of it is not worth remembering anyway. You are told to "organize" because they can not include system "YOUR" out. It is their problem, not yours, but they work hard to make it look like and look like your problem. I'm afraid I could not remember the names of people. Then I realized that I worried when I said that I should do better. Then, after a lot of worries, I discovered that I can not remember the names of the people. Those that I wanted to remember. Those who were not as important to me, I forgot. That's okay. I am not the phonebook or the Yellow Pages, so I'll try not to be. Your "problem" does not bother you. It's the people around you whining because they can not get to enforce their orders that are annoying you. You feel better when you really realize that. May God bless you.
