I am becoming completely useless and I always lose track of time

I really cannot trust my memory. I only discovered days later that I have missed a talk that I always wanted to attend. I also nearly missed another event that I was looking forward to. I feel like I am losing track of time. Things just happened too quickly and ended too quickly. I did not even have the time or energy to respond to them. It was like only me was left behind.

David Allen said, “Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them”.
Online calendars can be useful for setting reminders, repeating tasks and for carrying your schedule around with you all day on your phone. Google calendar is free online calendar. This may be helpful for making reminders and checklists that @Azziman suggested.
A pen and notebook may be better if you want to focus on the tasks that need doing without being distracted by the internet and you can design them the way you want.
Let us know how it goes and feel free to share what works for you.
@Azziman Sometimes I won't even be bothered to note them down when I just did not want to move. But yeah I will try the calendars if I can.

Thanks for all the suggestions you have provided for one another. It is great to see the support provided and the suggestions were helpful for me too. I personally really benefit from using to-do lists, time blocking and alarms
When we have a lot going on in our lives, there's only so much our brain can handle.
There are really good suggestions there!
I use calendars on my laptop and my phone and set reminders every day so I'm aware of the upcoming events. Additionally, I also use alarms.
Hope you're doing okay.
@Laura_tigger82 @lovemimoon Thanks, I am trying to use the alarms and reminders on the calendar when I can. I still hate myself for not being able to set alarms sometimes because I sometimes do not feel up to it.

It's okay!
Take it easy on yourself.
I personally find that I become most forgetful when I am feeling the most anxious or stressed. So sometimes checking in on anything that might be taking up headspace can be one of the most helpful ways to keep on track
It's great that you are trying to use alarms and reminders. It's totally okay if sometimes you don't feel up to this - the fact you are even thinking about it, and posting about it here is a great step! I'm proud of you
