This is related to situational awareness, attention to detail, etc.

I constantly forget stuff. For example, at a Friday coworker lunch, I've left my coffee, to go food, and id badge. Coworkers have begun to notice a pattern.

Also, I live downtown with various blocks. The other morning I was parked one block away and got lost on my way to work. Just couldn't figure out the direction I was supposed to go. It took me an extra 5 minutes to get reorientated. I need gps wherever I go. Even driving around a neighborhood I'm not familiar with, I will get lost fairly easily.

How can I improve?? I'm pretty desperate here. This is embarrassing. I'm not a dumb dude, I got through engineering. But this stuff has been a problem for a long time, along with my memory. This is probably a big reason I failed flight school
