See, you do understand pointers.
easier than trying to forget a 30 year old fuck up
Walking into a different room be like
Waste 15 minutes trying to figure out the game changing idea i had that I'm convinced is never coming back

Adhd

brainfart
Lackprehension?
Age.
I guess. I can actually feel a thought slipping though. Tip of the tongue meets Remembrall.
I have occasional celebrity name blindness, or whatever.
Some days I can name every celebrity I see in a picture, and other days I can't pull up a single one. I recognize the woman in the picture, but I can't recall her name at the moment, but maybe I will be able to tomorrow.
A while back, someone posted a picture of the Rolling Stones, and I knew every name, but Mick Jagger's.
Robert De Niro, Al Pachino, Christopher Walken, Matthew McConaughey are all names I've "misplaced" recently. At the same time, I can get Woody Harrelson, though--when I was commenting about Brothers.
This isn't new, I've had this weird affliction my whole life, I think.
It’s Adam McRachels
I should research thing to see if it can help with stuff. Opening up laptop, unlock, open 97th tab, select search box...what was thing again?!
"That's a good idea... wait, what was I thinking?"
This is me working late. Checklists become my only hope. That and breaking down the tasks into absurdly smaller tasks.
Jokes aside, but if you experience this and you had enough sleep, then you're dying
adhd also does this
That's unspecific
Not necessarily. If they're moving around, it could be the Doorway Effect. An actual psychological phenomenon where we tend to forget things when we go through a door, or some other transition to a different location/environment.
Basically a trick our brain uses for more efficient memory back-firing on us.
