Too busy forgetting

In the last two workdays alone, I have forgotten the following:

• To send notes from a meeting last Friday to the researchers involved;
• To do other misc. follow-up from the meeting I had intended to do yesterday;
• To thank a staff member in the college for sending me some documents;
• To look at a recommendation letter draft and finish it;
• To bring home a CD-ROM with a program I need to try out;
• To go to the library to find a few items;

I’m not as good at "multi-tasking" as I suppose I should be, yet.
