Lately, I feel like my brain has 300 open tabs and none of them are responding. I start tasks and then forget halfway through what I was even doing. Groceries? Forgot them. Replying to emails? Left someone on read for a week. Work assignments? Don’t even ask.

I’ve tried sticky notes, reminders, calendar apps… but nothing sticks. I just want something simple that helps me stay on track — especially while I’m working in Chrome all day.

Does anyone else feel like they’re constantly behind because they just can’t keep track of everything?

Same here, but I actually found something that works! There's a Chrome extension called Checklist — it lets you create to-do lists right in the browser. I just pin it and check off stuff as I go. Super minimal, but it helps a lot.

Oh wow, I just tried installing it. Didn’t even realize how useful it is to have a checklist literally one click away. This might actually be what I needed. Thanks!

Totally! I use it for daily tasks, project steps, even stuff like remembering to drink water . Hope it helps you get back on track!

It's due to amnestic nature of human brain. You need brain tonic anyway. Consult those who know about supplements.

What I do is to write down "dated" lists of what I need to do days or even weeks in advance so that I don't miss anything. These dated lists are on thick post-it notes and arranged in date order side by side.

At the moment I even have a post-it note dated March 2026 to remind me of something I need to do on that date.

In 1999, I made a conscious decision not to memorize anything I can store electronically or on paper because as I read somewhere, the brain is meant for thinking and not for storage. As I speak now, I don't even know my own phone number in full as I can always check it on my PC or where I've saved it on the phone as "Own Number".

Promotional thread. First 5 posts are from the same person using different accessories. Anyways, this place is a poor choice to promote his extension though.

Looks like you are having a tough time at being organised.

You should set up an electronic journal for your daily tasks and a time frame for fulfilling them. Stick to it religiously. Set it such that you would get prompts once a task is due to commence and reminders.. Todoist, Trello, calendar app and so on are good examples .

You need to prioritise your tasks and jettison what's not necessary.


Have a peak period for work and break period. You seem to be in an overdrive possibly because you don't take breaks. Fit that in and see the difference.


Finally, you need a supplement to help with the forgetfulness. Aswaghandha should be your go-to supplement. You can read up its functions and run it by your doctor.
