    I’m not ADHD but it happens to me very often. I wanted to look up something and then I forget. what solves it for me is trying to remember how I ended up on that thought. or redoing what I was just doing before to replicate the stimuli that made me think “oh I gotta look this up”

      Someone I used to date used to say if you walked into a room for something but forgot what it was, to walk back through the doorway. I think if she was feeling particularly witchy she’d say walk backwards through it.

      It often helped.
