I had a nasty car accident a few years ago and felt like my memory wasn't as good afterwards (despite tests from medical professionals that disagreed with me on that).

I addressed this by developing new, very detailed note-taking habits. Absolutely anything I work on now happens in a private or public GitHub issues thread. I take notes on my progress constantly - decisions I've made, dead ends I've explored, things I need to do next.

Whether or not I actually have any memory problems this approach has been a huge boost to my productivity. I wish I'd worked like this for my whole career.
