JulieRN,

You might try retyping the recipe out on a piece of paper with large spaces between steps. The classic way recipes are laid out requires looking back and forth from instructions to ingredients. Incorporate the ingredients including amounts in the body of the instructions.

The practice retyping the recipe will be a good exercise in sorting and focusing. Using a keyboard and computer screen can become your memory aid.

With the ingredient amount in the body of the recipe, you can lay a piece of paper or such over the step of the recipe you have finished. Hiding the finished parts will help you brain and eyes focus on the next task.

These work arounds help to maintain a normal live skill set.

My best to you.

btw, I lived in Naugatuck '69 to '73. (high school) My brother lived in Middletown and Bristol for years. CT has some nice features but miserable winters except for lots of skiing at Southington. I busted a foot running a road race in Middletown. Ouch.
