Julie,

I bet if you could step back and observe your work environment, you will find that there are noises and visual stimuli that come and go and interfere with your ability to focus, remember, and stay on task.

The transferring numbers from screen to paper is a common struggle. Try to not depend on a photographic memory. Instead, try to combine memory functions. When you see the number, say it out loud. This adds it to the auditory memory. Your combined audio and visual memory will work much better that just visual alone.

When my memory fails, I just accept it and go on. Getting frustrated only makes it worse.

If you focus on learning work-arounds and using those work-arounds consistently, you will be able to function much more reliably. Accept your failures and move on without concern. It is a lot easier to just do it again that to try to correct the mistake.

Tell us about specific struggles and someone will have a work-around to use.

My best to you.
