Due to a situation I find myself in, my daily habits have changed to a more simple daily schedule.
However, recently, I’ve been noticing that I struggle to recall certain events that happened the previous day:
What I ate for breakfast, what I did at work, what I learned in my classes, etc.
I don’t know how long this has been happening. Am I just overthinking it?
Kinda depends I guess, each person has varying degrees of recall and you can improve your recall if you’re willing to work on it (barring any actual health conditions that would interfere of course).
Personally, if I’m asked on the spot a question like, “What’d you eat for breakfast last Tuesday?” there’s a pretty good chance I wouldn’t remember and I don’t think that’s too unusual for most people.
If you’re experiencing increasingly poor recall (or just suddenly your recall is noticeably worse), then it’s probably worth getting checked out by medical professionals if you can afford it but not always having perfect recall or even slightly worsening recall as you age is pretty normal.
