After working for many years in a “fast pace environment” I can’t help but notice that I have increasing difficulties to do simple tasks.
In office, I always start multiple tasks at the same time. I noticed I often start but barely finish.
At home, it gets even worse. “Let’s make tea” takes several back and forth to the kitchen, wondering what I am doing there. Then forgetting I boiled water.
I’ve tried to trick myself by ordering tasks, but ultimately I end up asking myself what was I doing until now.
I don’t take medicines of any kind. “1st world problem” is granted, accepted, validated.
I’m sure I’m not the only one. Have you found a recipe that works for you ?

There is actually some neuroscience behind this one. The act of hand writing activate more areas of the brain than typing the same info.
This is a popular press article covering some of these studies.
