  • work procedures

    I become confused about work processes.

    What you see/hear immediately disappears from memory

    Cannot recall processes and procedures to accomplish things

    Cannot integrate/process more than one piece of information

    I was unable to remember procedures at work that I had never forgotten.

    Cannot recall processes and procedures to accomplish things

    I cannot remember who said what and when at meetings because the volume is too big for me to retain.

    Cannot process more than one thing that you see/hear simultaneously

    Cannot perform more than one thing simultaneously

    Chie Iida (alias)

    My work speed has dropped to about one third.

    Cannot recall processes and procedures to accomplish things

    After the morning work and lunch at my workplace, I was extremely sleepy, had stiffness in my hands and felt cold.

    Become easily fatigued, mentally and physically

    Naomi Higuchi

    Colleagues keep blaming me for the mistakes that I make at work.
    Hiroyuki Iwata

    My vision becomes poor in the dark, and I have difficulty reading manuscripts. I was able to read during the day, but not at night.
