I have this problem as well. Only advice that worked for me is to practice, practice, practice. Practice so much that muscle memory takes over. It's slow, it's tedious, but that worked for me.

Make it a point to use to-do lists, although I find that sometimes I forget to check my lists...

I knew this! I am pretty strong and quick at math/calculus etc. The reason being that I over practiced while learning it.

Looks like I have to do the same now. Simply spend lots of hours after work and focus on being mechanical. It is pretty depressing right, why should I struggle so much when everybody else is having it easy?

But at-least I am passionate about technology/business and hopefully massive repeated practice will pay off. I was reading wikipedia article after your comment and it turns out people with Alzheimer's can remember after a lot of repetition. At-least, I am grateful that I don't have Schizophrenia or something like that.
