I’m 35, with diagnosed ADHD and brain scarring. My memory feels so fried and it’s almost Impossible to finish a task. Where I live it’s almost Impossible to get actual medication for something. Doc always gives herbal treatments and it helps nothing.
Is there a way to help myself without meds?

I have tried so many methods of writing stuff down. I always either lose said thing, or forget about it all together
I’ve been writing in notebooks since college, so… for most of my life, I guess lol. It comes pretty naturally to check in with a notebook to “sync up” on what I’m supposed to be doing, and also as a sort of way of centering myself by faffing about with pencils and paper.
Downside is if someone asks me if I’m free on any given day, I’ll have no idea at all, unless I have my notebook.
