Completing projects - prioritising which projects have greatest value 8. Difficulty listening to other people when they talk 9. Forgetfulness, losing things - keys, wallet, plans made with friends (or clients) 10. Lack of time awareness - you lose track of time, you underestimate how long things will take 11.
