The Science Behind Why You Can Remember Song Lyrics from 2005 But Not What You Had for Breakfast

[u/ADHDtesting]

I've written an article explaining why so many of us can recall obscure facts about our favorite topics but struggle with everyday memory tasks.

If you've ever:

Lost something you were literally just holding

Forgotten a conversation you were in the middle of

Remembered every detail about your hobby but blanked on important appointments

...there's actually a scientific reason for this! It's not about memory storage - it's about how our brains filter information. The article breaks down the research in plain English and includes practical strategies that have worked for my patients.

No motivational fluff, no "just try harder" - just science and solutions.

The explanations of how our brains filter information are spot on, and I appreciate the practical strategies for improving working memory.
