That would make sense, wouldn’t it?

That just isn’t how my brain works. If I put a thing down, unless I am super hyped about it or it is urgent, I will forget about it. If I become aware of it again and it still isn’t urgent, I might pick it up with the intention to put it in the proper place but get distracted and put it in a new temporary place because something else more urgent is going on. I will occasionally remember that it is in a specific place and I’ll be like “oh I should move it to the right place/fix it/tidy up/other” and I will forget about it again because something else is happening or I am at work or somewhere, where I can’t do anything about it right now.

My spouse and I have some strong suspicions that I have undiagnosed ADHD, but in the milder end. It is what it is. All you can do is do the best you can and try and find way to improve. The problem is that no matter how much I work on these things, I will never get truly better. I can get better in one area and then crash and burn in another so I kinda pick which area I want to work on and accept that I will be a train wreck in another.
