I must admit at 43 my PDA is my best friend. I scribble more notes at work and keep a more detailed list of where I am at on projects and where I expect them to lead with more timelines. I don't think I have trouble with retention due to my age, I think the problem is at this point in my life technolgoy is just a slice of my life, not the entire thing it was at 18. Then I could computer all night long and sleep all day. My priorities are rearranged. Now, when at work, I am not only working, I am thinking about what to pick up at the grocery store for dinner, answering an email from my wife, wondering what holiday is coming up next, and wondering if I paid the water bill. I'm multiplexing much more than my 18 year old self which just makes me look like a slow old geezer...................
