You run a large organization. Are you burned out? Maybe pulled in too many directions? You get a little reward each time you close out one of those distractions and eventually you look forward to that feeling. You can become avoidant of larger items which require attention.

Secondly, knowing your status is a large step in the right direction. You can build routines around the things that seem to slip from your consciousness. For example, patting yourself down for your usual items before leaving in the morning, or making a habit of capturing everything you learn in some sort of notes application for future use.

I'm in the same boat and am at the point of NEEDING medication so I sympathize and wish you luck.

I don't know if I'd call it a "large" organization, but it could be--I for sure feel like I avoid the larger items at times.

Looking at the last 10 years, I've build 10s of routines to compensate without knowing why.

Good luck getting medication! Hopefully it helps you.
