Ep 111. Working Memory and ADHD: Why You Keep Forgetting (and What Actually Helps)
Description
Struggling to remember simple steps—like turning on the oven or sending that important text—even when they really matter? You’re not alone. In this video, I explain what working memory is, why it’s often challenging for ADHD brains, and simple, real-world strategies you can use to stop dropping the ball.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between working memory and attention
- What forgetting really means for people with ADHD
- How to create support systems so you can rely on your brain (instead of fighting it)
If you’ve ever had to dig the brownie box out of the trash to re-read instructions, or forget the day/time of an appointment before you could write it down—this video is for you.
