ADHD: How to Retain Information and Make it Stick

It feels like your brain is a sieve. You read a page and forget it instantly. You are not lazy or broken. Your brain just processes data in a unique way.

What is it?

Information retention is the ability to move facts from short-term memory into long-term storage. For many of us, the bridge between these two areas is under construction.

Signs & Symptoms

Reading the same paragraph five times without understanding
Forgetting a person's name three seconds after they say it
Feeling like a conversation you had yesterday never happened

Why does this happen?

Your Prefrontal Cortex manages your working memory. Think of this like a tiny mental sticky note. In ADHD brains, this sticky note is very small and loses its stickiness quickly. Dopamine acts as the glue that helps facts move to long-term storage. When dopamine is low, your brain does not 'tag' information as important, so it lets the data go.

The Action Plan

Try breaking down your next task like this to overcome the block:
1

The Verbal Dump

5m

Explain the concept out loud to a pet or even a wall to lock it in.

2

Visual Mapping

10m

Draw a quick, messy sketch that represents the idea you just learned.

3

The Spaced Gap

2m

Look at the information again in exactly one hour to reinforce the path.

Stop fighting your brain.
