The initial computer-based analogy seems useful.
I definitely do notice a sort of forgetfulness around the context of a project, particularly the reasons/motivation for doing it.
Thinking about this, I wonder if ADHD people struggle with being project managers? Especially when it's important to mentally keep track of the big picture and the contexts around various tasks.

I guess this is sort of different from working memory though, or it's more subtle (because I definitely don't have any actual forgetfulness, it's easy for me to remember things etc)
