Forgetting things lately. Forgot to pay the electricity bill.
I usually have all my due dates marked on my calendar, but this time I was travelling and missed checking the reminder, and somehow forgot about it completely.
What worries me is not forgetting the payment, but the fact that I seemed to skip an entire month in my head. I had a mental note that the due date was coming up, but I failed to register that the last time I had paid was actually two months ago. That disconnect is what has been bothering me.
Lately, I have been experiencing these strange lapses where my sense of time or sequence seems to disappear for a moment. Work has also been affecting my sleep and overall life. And I am devising ways to declutter my mind and exploring the options. But is there something I can start doing, a routine, so that my mind is fresh, aware and more present.
I would really appreciate input, especially from anyone who has experienced something similar and found something that helped.
