I have ADHD and I often find that I have trouble paying attention. Even with my current dose of medication, I find that unless I am very interested in the subject at hand or the information is important, it goes in one ear and out the other. For example, I enjoyed my Biology class last September very much and I can still remember half the material. Or, if I had an exam set to take place very soon, I'd be able to take in much more information than if it were a week or more away. It's gotten to the point where I'll realize that I completely forgot a conversation I've just had or one that I am in the middle of. Sometimes I'll wake up one morning and find that I can't remember any details of the previous day. This makes it difficult to complete multi-step activities as I'll put something down and forget I ever used it or make a mental note for myself and disregard it immediately.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
