Anyone else feel like they’ve gotten stupider (for lack of a better word) these last few years? No significant change in workload or anything but making dumb mistakes and struggling to remember things and communicate well. Sometimes I’ll look back on work I did and have no memory of what I was doing. It’s starting to really affect my performance and I’m wondering if others in accounting have experienced this and found relief or solutions

Lots of factors weigh into this - how’s your sleep, diet, and physical fitness? If any of those three things aren’t in check, it can have a large impact, and it becomes even more apparent the older you get.

I feel like interacting with others is helpful for many things. The independence of working remote has been detrimental to individuals as well as society as a whole. Just my opinion. I read your response and took the chance to share.

You’re probably just very bored.

This happened to me but became more apparent when I moved into project finance. Lost track of what’s happening on different studies that I was always reminding myself or would keep notes

Heavy metals from the vax - do a detox ; also parasites & radiation

This is happening to me, but last October I got a concussion and I think it negatively attributes to this!

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
