easier than trying to forget a 30 year old fuck up

See, you do understand pointers.

Is there a name for the sensation of currently forgetting something you just had in mind?

Waste 15 minutes trying to figure out the game changing idea i had that I’m convinced is never coming back

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?!

This is me working late. Checklists become my only hope. That and breaking down the tasks into absurdly smaller tasks.

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.
