More than 850 people responded to
our survey on cognition, and the vast
majority said that they have ongoing
cognitive challenges. The most popular
ways of managing these issues, by a
landslide, were to write things down
and make lists. Many people also rely
on calendars and smartphone apps.
Stay tuned for more suggestions from
experts in an upcoming Momentum
article on cognition.
