Aaron then asked panelists to address the question of short attention problems and being forgetful. Corrine said she had an organizer to write notes in. She had lists of bills to pay and a folder to write down important things. Occasionally she asked friends to help her remember. She sometimes leaves messages for herself on her answering machine.
Lance writes things down in a daytimer with a calendar.
Taking notes also helps him pay attention, but noted it depended on how you took notes. When a teacher had overheads, he wrote all that stuff down. Unfortunately, it didn't stick. This year, he's listening to the teacher and taking his own notes instead of copying the overheads and that way he gets the whole idea. Lance also commented that the overheads were organized in a way that worked for the teacher.
