Depends, it's a very select group lol . If it really that bad then there is a chance of you having ADHD (of course, other symptoms need to be there).
I used to tease my ex. She would make lists of everything and loved spreadsheets. Maybe we should take a leaf from her book and make a laminated print out with steps or check lists. It's not hard to do and creatures are counting on us not to stuff up.
Knowing my luck I would put that some place so I wouldn't lose it. Some day I hope to find that spot so I can get all my stuff back I put there. Have you ever noticed we seem to forget things more the more we remind ourselves not to forget them.
