Our working memory has many strengths, like doing mental math and remembering the first part of a sentence as we read the second part. 

But the one thing it’s NOT good at is the one thing we keep asking it to do: remember information for longer than a brief moment.

That’s NOT what our working memories are designed to do. In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, we talk all about working memory and how to support it. People with ADHD, this one’s especially for you.

What You Learn:

• The difference between working memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory
• How to get information from your working memory into your long-term memory so you can actually remember the information when you need it (like for a test)
• Tons of practical strategies for supporting your working memory
• The impact of ADHD on working memory
