Is my memory broken?

Hi guys,

I know this might sound daft, but stay with me. When I used to do work in an office (like data entry while at uni), I used to be sharp with my memory. I'd have no trouble remembering what I did during the day, what i'd had for breakfast etc.

Now, since starting a more 'mentally demanding' job (psychologist covering fourteen schools), I do a heck of a lot more during the day, and have been struggling to remember what I have done on that day. Basically, the jobs that I have done during the morning, what I had for breakfast seem like such a long time ago, and I have to really think to remember what I've done.

Now, either my memory is broken, or this is normal. So, to those who have a job which means they have a lot of diversity (like today, I've visited 5 schools and worked with, probably, nine or ten kids), do you have trouble remembering what you've done during the day?

Odd, I know. But thanks.

Ummm im like this all the time tho my memory has never been that great any way......then one day I thought I dont have to go on like this and ordered an extra 2gig from OCUK.

but for real yes I forget things all the time.
 
You only have a certain amount of space for memories so all the extra work is taking up neuron space and all your non work memory is being wiped.

I'd quit your job quick before it starts to wipe your important memories, like address, name, how to go to the toilet, breathe etc.! :eek:
 
Hmm, I have been anxious of late. I wonder if that's it.

My professional opinion is that there is a certain level of being overworked, but I don't feel overworked, so wondered whether it was the same for others.
 
Hmm, I often wonder if my memory is dying, and I don't even have a particularly stressful job! I regularly forget where I'm going, and what has been said only minutes before. Quite annoying when I have to ask people questions again but in a roundabout way so it doesn't sound like I just wasn't listening the first time... but really, I often listen carefully, then minutes later forget what was said. :(

Why start a new thread? You asked the same question yesterday, ffs!
:D:D
