Me too. I've always been like that, though, and with more distractions come more issues. I learned early on in life to write things down, but I apparently didn't learn to remember where I wrote things down, to take those written down things with me anywhere they'd be useful, or often even that I had written things down. The number of things that have gone through my brain but not stopped to chat is frightening, and I wish sometimes I could actually have access to it.
It does worry me that one day someone will ask me stuff they think I should know or remember as a test for functioning mental capability and I'll fail. I'll have to try to convince them that, no, in fact I wouldn't have been able to remember those three things you mentioned two minutes ago even if I hadn't just been mugged, and I actually don't care to remember who the Prime Minister is - it's too traumatic.
