I have memory problems but it isn't short term memory that is my problem but working memory. So my brain doesn't actually form the memories to hold onto them, which is why I forget things so easily and so fast. It's a common concern among people.

I do best when I do things one at a time and not have a lot going around me. I always lose my keys when I come home from the store because I have to carry in bags, put them down, and put groceries away. Even with a "place" to put my keys I still lose them, as an example.
