In 2020, are you finding yourself becoming more forgetful? Don't worry. You are not alone.
CMT's Lauryn Snapp has sleuthed the internet for details behind distracted moments and according to a recent survey, 56% of Americans admit to being forgetful, and two-thirds think that their memory has gotten worse in the last decade.
Why? Many are pointing a finger toward getting holder and continually multitasking.
The poll also revealed that the average American has 332 forgetful moments a year. Let's break that down to just over six a week. If you are reading these statistics and thinking, "Wow, that sounds like me!" let's see how you rank on the most common things we are forgetting.
